Commissioned instruments
In this section you will find some examples of my handbuilt instruments, in a variety of styles and types, reflecting the broad range of music genres that the violin can be used for. These are offered for sale, or alternatively, as an example of what is available to the musician as a commissioned instrument, being tailored to the individuals specific styles and taste. All commissioned instruments are supplied with new cases.
These instruments are prefixed with a letter "C"

Restored instruments for sale
In addition to building new instruments on commission, I also have a small stock of restored examples of instruments and bows, I particularly enjoy those more challenging restoration projects and use only traditional techniques and materials in the process.
I firmly believe in the principles of "conservation" over "restoration", providing the end result is still a sound and working instrument or bow, preserving as much of the original material and maker's intentions as is practical, and in cases where this is not practical, I will try to preserve the best version of the instrument, as my philosophy lies in the respect of the original creators and their craft. Cases are supplied at extra cost.
These instruments are prefixed with the letter "R"

New/contemporary instruments
I also carry some stock of new or contemporary instruments, prices shown include a case.
These are prefixed with the letter N
