Apprenticed at Beecher Acoustics, Oxford (est. 1972), I work with violin family instruments, paying close attention to how each one responds in the hands of its player.
Every instrument has its own character, and every player brings a different physical relationship to it. My role is to understand both, and make precise, meaningful adjustments accordingly.
Setup, repair, and restoration are collaborative processes. Tone, projection, clarity, response, and ease of playing all matter.
The aim is simple: an instrument that feels alive in the hands, dependable under the bow, and fully aligned with the musician who plays it.
