Welcome!

Check out our new Instrument, the Thumb Piano! 

My name is Dan Williams and I am the designer & builder of Woodrows, a one of a kind instrument designed similar to the Appalachian Dulcimer and yet sounds like the Banjo. A similar piece of equipment would be called the Strum Stick.

The name "Woodrow" is in honor of the man who lovingly gave me his insight & shop for this instrument's birth - Brother Woodrow Branscome of Jacksonville, FL.

Woodrows can be used for a variety of situations such as:

* traveling
* camping
* relaxing
* entertaining friends &
* classroom music lessons

These instruments are very easy to learn to play and, once you master them, you can even play a banjo or guitar.

My beautiful wife & I live in Old Fort, North Carolina, at the base of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. I now build these amazing instruments in the culture rich area found there.


Please, enjoy my site and behold the wonderful things in store!
