I am a bit surprised that you don't know the name, given your encyclopedic knowledge of small builders. Paddy Burgin is a guitar builder (and pretty good player, if the clips on youtube are any indication) He builds acoustic guitars, Irish Bouzoukis, Mandolins and Citterns, but is best known for the Weissenborns that David Lindley and Henry Kaiser plays. He is located somewhere round Wellington.

Did you see any of Tim Kill's instruments in Melbourne?

Laurie Williams is up north of Aukland somewhere...

There are some other local NZ builders, but those are the one's that I would most like to see, from their reputation.
