Ever since I was ten years old I wanted to be able to make a violin of my own. The determination continued as I took lessons and began to play proficiently. I worked at my trade and eventually made a violin myself. It was difficult and took some time. It looked good, though the tone was not the greatest, but I did it!

I did lots of reading on the subject and eventually started another violin. I changed some things that I thought might help. Things like thickness, graduation of the wood, weight, edges, and beauty. It can take a lot of time to get results.

At present I have many great violins in stock at my home and shop.
