Shaun Newman began playing the classical guitar in 1968 whilst living and teaching in Germany. He made his first classical guitar almost 25 years ago and has also made harps, dulcimers (hammered and fretted), mandolins, mediaeval fiddles, psalteries, and ukuleles. He has recently completed a baroque guitar with parchment rose. He retired almost a dozen years ago from his busy role as a company director working with an agency supporting unemployed young people.
