I am a violin maker and restorer in north Berkeley. I have violins, bows and cases ranging in price from $350 for a beginner set to tens of thousands for professional quality, and many in between. I can help you find the violin of your dreams at a reasonable cost. I work out of my home so my prices are well below most shops. I pride myself on my workmanship and restoration. I studied with Boyd Paulsen, a world renowned maker, for over twenty years. My work has been played and endorsed by Itzhak Perlman, John Sherba (Kronos Quartet) and Alexander Barantschik (concert master SF symphony).
Contact me and we can set up a time for you to try out some fantastic violins.
