The Totnes Workshop

The building has great character, and dates from about 1700. It houses both the Totnes School of Guitarmaking and Norman Reed Guitars, a well established guitar workshop and retail shop run by Nigel Jones. The two are separate, but complement one another - the shop supplies materials and parts for students' instruments.

The workshop is near the centre of Totnes. All the amenities of the town are within walking distance. Totnes itself is a small, attractive, prosperous market town that has grown up on the river Dart at the highest point reached by the tide. Parts of the old walls, and gates, which outline the early settlement are still visible. A medieval castle commands a view of the town, the river, outlying country and the moors beyond. It has a long-held reputation as a lively, sociable town in which crafts, art and music have flourished. Our links page will connect you to more information on Totnes and the surrounding area.
