About

I graduated from the Newark School of Violin Making, the longest established and best known violin making school in Great Britain, in 1977. I spent the following 5 years working as a repairer and restorer at Edward Withers Ltd, 22 Wardour St with Dietrich Kessler, one of London's most respected and experienced violin makers. I now run my own shop at 192 High Street, Egham, Surrey.
