Welcome to my website. I have been making for about 30 years.

I was taught by a professional maker, who worked for Hills in

London,

I have been playing the viola for 40 years and was taught by a

teacher, who studied with sevcik for 2 years.

 

 

Most of my instruments are Strad pattern.

Violas can be made any size to suit the player.

 

The Bass I am making at the moment is a design by Peter Chandler

from Canada. It is a 3/4 size with a narrow upper bout for soloist ease.

The back is a carved back. The string length is 42 1/2".

It will be finished around Christmas 2005
