Having had a fascination with metal and woodwork from a very young age, Peter Pollard has become one of the most sought after instrument designers and repairers in the UK. Peter has been working with the country’s top musicians for over 40 years and has a thorough understanding of their needs. Renowned for his experimental nature, he pushes the boundaries of instrument design, using materials not usually associated with the instruments he is building.
Peter learnt his trade by studying acoustics, metal and woodworking whilst working under the watchful eyes of the worlds leading technicians. Since then he has designed instruments for major instrument manufacturers such as Jupiter and artists in the UK and Canada. Peter also worked for retailers, managing product ranges and developing their marketing campaigns. Colleges have also taken advantage of Peter’s expertise asking him to write and examine repair courses in the UK and Norway.
Peter is a member of the NAPBIRT and the Yamaha Technicians Guild and has regularly been seen at all the worldwide major music shows including NAMM, MIAC and the Frankfurt Musik Messe.
Finally Peter has returned to his true love, designing and making brass and woodwind instruments and is currently working on student instruments for JHS and also custom instruments for individual artists.
