About Us

We are now trading from our new home and workshop in the delightful surroundings of the Bushey countryside in Hertfordshire. We make about ten new instruments a year as well as carrying out repair work and restoration on fine violins, violas, cellos and basses. Other work includes the making of carbon fibre bows and some violin teaching.

All of our instruments are hand made adhering to the old cremonese principles and working methods and embodying the highest standards of craftsmanship. Each instrument is a unique creation. The tonal quality we seek is of a warm dark colour, rich in harmonics and one that I would associate with old Italian fiddles. We also make exact copies of old instruments for clients who feel safer having a second instrument.
