MADE TO ORDER SERVICE
 
 
The instruments for sale on this site represent my current stock – made from both traditional and non-traditional woods.

However, I will be delighted to build a violin to your requirements – either from some of my current stock of wood, from  wood you wish to provide or from wood that I can source for you.

Commission me to make a violin just for you, to meet your requirements - including woods, style (e.g. Stradivari, Amati, Steiner), fittings, finish etc.

Many makers/musicians are reluctant to embrace/consider instruments that are not made from the traditional woods – maple and spruce.  However, I believe that with careful attention to the tonal properties and densities of the wood, that
are then reflected in the construction, a large number of woods can be used to make excellent instruments.  
This is my philosophy – classically dimensioned and constructed instruments using a wide variety of woods – to create
instruments with variety in colour, tone and appearance, that look as well as sound beautiful.

Let’s explore the possibilities.
