The models I use for my instruments are personalized versions based on historical Cremonese designs. I favor the spirit displayed in the later works by Joseph Guarnerius "Del Gesu" ^(1698-1744), but also acknowledge in my patterns the refined principles set forth by Antonio Stradivari ^(1644-1737).

Warm, powerful, penetrating, evenly balanced, and fun to play are typical comments I have received.

These instruments are made from the finest old tone woods. They are richly varnished to show off the wonderful beauty of the highly figured maple backs. Each one is uniquely made to the highest artistic and professional standards.
