Own one of the Sisters
Three amplifiers, one shared story
The Three Sisters of Ainsty is the first official amplifier series from Colson of York.
Maria, Charlotte and Emily.
There will only ever be one of each.
No second run and no other variants. Once these three amplifiers find their homes, the series is complete.

Buy Maria
Maria is the eldest sister.
She carries the strongest local material history of the three siblings. Alongside Yorkshire sycamore and sapele, her cabinet includes very old oak timber reclaimed from Drew’s 1815 Georgian house in Bilton-in-Ainsty. Her base is made from slatted pine repurposed from the rear door of the same property, placing part of the actual fabric of the house into the amplifier itself.
Maria also uses more sapele across the front than the other two sisters, giving her a deeper, richer and more substantial visual character.

Charlotte
Charlotte is the middle sister.
She is the most elegant, restrained and balanced of the three visually.
Alongside Yorkshire sycamore and sapele, her base is made from slatted pine repurposed from the rear door of Drew’s 1815 Georgian house in Bilton-in-Ainsty, giving her a direct material connection to the place where the amplifier was built.
She has the same 25-watt analogue platform and 1998 English Celestion G12F-60 speaker as the other sisters, but with her own cabinet proportions, stance and character.

Emily – SOLD
Emily is the youngest sister.
She has now found her new home.
