About John
I was taught violin making by Neil Értz, and have been building instruments for advanced students and professional players since 2005. My instruments are based on classical Italian models by makers such as Stradivari and the Amati and Guarneri families, with meticulous attention to detail applied at every stage of the design, construction and set-
Visitors are welcome at my workshop in Sheffield, UK. Please email or phone to make an appointment.
If you are interested in commissioning an instrument, I try to make this as risk-
Instruments are guaranteed for life against defects in materials or construction and maintenance and adjustments are free for the first three years. Please contact me for current prices and waiting times.
Please visit my website to see examples of my work.
