Gerard Murphy graduated from the Violin Making and Restoration Department of the The London Guildhall University. Jed has a wealth of experience and is renowned for his attention to detail, love for luxurious materials and passion for the violin.

By his fourth year of college Gerard had completed two commissions for copies of a Mathias Albani 1705 and a J.B. Vuillaume cello and numerous violin repairs. Gerard graduated having completed a quartet of instruments plus four other violins.

Gerard has also carried out restoration and violin repairs for the well known auction house Bonhams in London, working on some of the finest Italian period and modern instruments. During that time he built up a clientele of musicians who to this day value his high quality violin repairs and restoration work, his knowledge of instruments and their provenance. We at Atelierviolins in Bushey specialise in violins, violas cellos and basses.
