I've always enjoyed working closely with musicians; their needs and opinions influence my work.  This has led me to develop a comprehensive range of models:

  • violins which are powerful and responsive

  • violas including focussed, dark-sounding concert instruments as well as  high-quality smaller models for students and children

  • cellos with a rich resonant sound; a selection of models are available including sizes for those with small hands
