For fourteen years I was in the violin department at Sotheby’s. My last seven years there were as a departmental director. This meant travelling around the world advising clients about their instruments.
Now I’m far happier: I’ve written a book about violins and I’ve been working for myself for over twenty-five years.
I specialise in violins, violas, cellos and their bows for the professional (sorry, I don’t do school fiddles) and I’m based in a converted country church rather than a conventional violin shop. It’s a lovely place to try instruments, and indeed is popular as a performance space.
