My name is Rob Dick, and I’m Jupiter
Creek music. I’m a small volume home based maker of solidbody electric
mandolin and ukulele family instruments, tenor guitars, lap steel guitars,
octave guitars, bouzoukis, six string guitars, the dulcimer derived "Strummer
From Downunder", and the "Stomper" electric percussion effect. My aim is
to build good sounding affordable instruments and effects.
If you can't forgive the odd sanding mark
or scratch, or the lustre of a hand sprayed finish, then please don't buy
a hand-made Jupiter Creek Music instrument. These minor blemishes and imperfections
are your guarantee that this instrument was built in my home workshop in
suburban South Australia. Choosing an instrument by Jupiter Creek Music
gives you something different. A unique instrument made with care by one
person for another, giving satisfaction to the maker and pride of exclusive
ownership to the player.
For the forseeable future
babysitting my toddler grand-daughter during the week wins out over building
instruments to order, so if you're looking for one of my instruments the only
place to go is my eBay store.
All instruments by Jupiter Creek Music
are hand-made from Australasian timbers, complemented by hardware, strings,
frets and pickups from makers such as Gotoh, Wilkinson, Martin/Darco, Jim
Dunlop, Stewmac, EMG, WSC, and GFS.
I often get asked for video or sound
clips of my instruments. One of my customers sent me the link to this clip!
Enjoy!
