Who is B&K Instruments?
B&K Instruments are built in Sherman CT by Frank Brocklehurst and
Joseph Keneally. Our instruments were created out of a frustration
with the current state of instrument design. The first area that needs
improvement is that of quality fractional size instruments for children
or people of short stature. Nobody seems to care about this area of
the market. There are also numerous custom built instrument
makers appearing that are just rehashing old designs without
bringing anything new to the table. We really wanted to offer
something that was very progressive but still offered a hand built
feel. Every aspect of our instruments has been thought about and
improved.
Standard features.
Balanced body - custom balances available
Double expanding Truss rod with graphite reinforcement bars
Custom Wood, Brass or Aluminum bridge by Hip Shot or K&M
instruments.
Fully shielded control cavity with shock reducing wiring.
Reverse head stock for improved string and neck tension.
Equal tempered tuning system installed in all instruments.
Sculpted neck joint for total access.
Life time warranty.
Quater-sawn neck construction with separate head stock joint for
strength and stability.

Chris Cavalier has joined us at
B&K ( and we are very flattered
by that ). Chris wanted a unique
Guitar to Match his very original
style of music. So after much
reserch and experimenting we
came up with a hybrid Archtop for
him.
