    A Unique Feature of this Course

o

  • Violin making is, of course, a craft — but my true passion has always been around tone and sound production. It is easy to become caught up in textbook technicalities and end up simply building a wooden box rather than an instrument capable of song.

  • Before you decide, I know there are many courses and options available. What I hope to offer here is something closer to an apprenticeship.

  • Throughout the course, you will be able to ask questions directly and receive personalized graduation and thickness measurements tailored specifically to your individual piece of wood. Together, drawing upon my decades of experience, we will work toward creating a violin with beauty, character, and a truly singing tone.

Whether you're brand new to working with your hands or a seasoned maker, I'd love to share with you the methods I've developed over the past forty years to bring out the very best tone from your wood. (Listen here)

 

You will gain fine woodworking skills, authentic varnish methods, and personalized guidance needed to bring your own beautiful violin to life. To ensure your success, I will calculate custom wood thickness measurements based on your specific materials for a warm, concert-hall sound.

 

If committing to a full build feels daunting, the Pay-As-You-Learn path lets you test the waters without needing to invest in the full course upfront.
