After 21 years of restoration of the best antique instruments and 16 years of making experience combined with much varnish research I can offer violins and violas of the highest quality with total confidence:
first class craftsmanship
long term top sound reputation
stunningly beautiful ground and varnish
can suit your preference for a fully varnished or antiqued instrument
positive endorsements from peers and teachers
impressive customer list
My instruments have an exceptional sound right from the start and feedback suggests that the sound improves further, like good wine, year after year.
