... Welcome to my violin-making home page. Please find link buttons below to guide you to areas of interest (do not forget the 'table of contents' guide for access to areas of special interest to you). I currently have over 200 pages of information for you, some of which is available nowhere else.
... I have included information both on violin making and also on ways to improve your current instrument, as well as some of my new violin research findings.
{...You may find the 'new 2008 acoustical tuning guide' link below helpful in improving your current violin, viola, or cello.}
