...Here are several features that set my violins apart: ...While most makers build to a careful patten and then just accept whatever turns out, I have adopted a more scientific approach. I have spent years now studying how the various wood components interact and have discovered certain acoustic principles that govern the violin. ...I have used this knowledge to adjust each part of the violin during construction so that it works in harmony with the whole instrument. {You may enjoy the detailed articles covering all my findings in other areas of this website.} ...I have also become an educator to help other makers and players use this information, which I freely share (for the betterment of music, unless I am mistaken). |

... My goal is to provide you with a handsome instrument that glows with a warm natural beauty. ... I hand varnish each violin with seven coats of the highest quality instrument oil varnish; rubbing out the finish to a high luster which should offer centuries of beauty and protection.. |
