my philosophy
I have been making and restoring stringed instruments for over 20 years, in the great instrument-making tradition of my family. Established in London, I provide instruments of quality, enjoyable to play and a pleasure to hear. In continuing the acoustical craft of the great luthiers, I aim to create affordable instruments for the most discerning of customers.

To understand and utilize the principles and techniques of 18th century craftsmen, and so produce instruments rich in sound and power, as well as response and appearance. After years of refining my skills as a violin-maker, I came across a person who answered my questions about the craft and practical application of acoustics. That person was Keith Hill, who taught me all I needed to know in order to create superior instruments, and has supported me ever since.
