   About PicStrum

Many people have ask us "Just how are PicStrums made and how much work goes into making one?" - The following information will help you to understand, how much, love, time and labour goes into making just one "Picstrum".

Once they know just how much goes into one the next question they ask is "How can you make them so reasonable"? the answer is "The love of music".

First John & Pete comb the world for the best timber, only the truest grain and the straightest trees will do, a tree must be found with an honest soul and a desire to put that soul into making good music for the generations to come, A warped twisted or bitter tree will not do, and will be rejected immediately.

Once a tree is selected for use it must be transported to the "PicStrum" design workshops in Biscopham, Lancashire, UK, this is done by hand picked specialist (all of which are also musicians) who will gently remove the tree from its old housing, float it on a bed of water (to save any damage) and guide it to the port of Fleetwood along the Wyre estuary, then on a bed of feathers to the Picstrum studios. Once it has recovered fully from its journey and adjusted itself to its new environment work will begin on the Picstrum.

The trees are assigned a personal escort who will accompany the trees over their journey and ensure no harm befalls them. Along the trip the Escort will become very attached to the tree and will be able to advise the builders of the PicStrum how to get the best from each individual piece of wood.

The above information may contain "Poetic Licence".
