Welcome to our new series, Builders Brew, where we meet string instrument builders and repairers who choose Rotosound strings. Each episode takes a behind-the-scenes look at the workshops and working practices of luthiers; we explore why they do what they do; and we find out why Rotosound strings are the choice of expert instrument makers.
In this first episode, we meet South East London-based luthier, John Procter, who builds and repairs guitars and classical instruments in his Aladdin's cave of a workshop.
