In The Shop

The purpose of this page is to entertain, educate, and inform you of events, instruments, and people currently involved in my workshop/studio. First and foremost, a violin shop is about ... violins. So, I will highlight here some instruments currently available at my shop, with a short description, perhaps some history or other points of interest. I'll also announce newly made instruments as they are completed.

The following is an article about my workshop that appeared in the Charlottesville Daily Progress last December. It is reprinted with permission.
