PARIS LE SALON DU VIOLON 2023
La bellevilloise, Paris, Salon du violon, October 2023

More modern violins and bows to choose from "Le salon du violon" in Paris! The majority of the exponents are modern luthiers from France. All of them showing high quality craftsmanship.

The bows are especially well renowned in France. This year, I am selecting from the best bow makers to bring some samples to New Zealand.

If you are in New Zealand, you are welcome to try the bows and violin I am bringing to Auckland. Beautifully made, top quality, very nice sound and playability.

Book your appointment, those jewels won't last very long. First come first served!

MONDOMUSICA CREMONA ITALIA 2023

Visiting Cremona for mondomusica: the biggest market for modern violins and violin supplies.
It was very nice to be back in Cremona -where I lived 5 years between 1990 to 1995 - to visit MONDOMUSICA, trying many violins, bows and cellos, connecting with new violin makers, new bow makers, new suppliers, discovering new techniques, new material, reconnecting with my old school companions, sharing the latest exciting projects and discoveries....
It is always very refreshing and inspiring to visit Cremona, especially during this time.
So far I selected I violin and 2 bows to bring to NZ... I will share more information and pictures about those items soon...

Next weekend, I will be at "Le salon du violon" in Paris, France.
I will post more updates soon...
