I hope these violins bring you joy . . .

The violin has been a part of my life for more than 40 years. My love of the “Bach Double” (Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor) began at age 13 and I’ve never heard piece of music I love more.

I now restore antique and vintage instruments as custom art. I love creating something unique and meaningful out of instruments that cannot be returned to playable condition.

This is truly a labor of love. It is a joy to get to know every instrument that comes into my workshop — country of origin, unique craftsmanship details and any other clues about its history I can glean. And it is pure joy for to create violins that bring joy to others.
