"One of these days you're going to be more famous than me."

Pinchas Zukerman

Baroque Instruments

A part of my apprenticeship involved working with the noted lutemaker Stephen Murphy. His shop is located in a very small French village (Mollans sur Ouveze) in Provence, France. The following photographs are instruments that we made together in his shop. We worked together for two years. Although I am no longer making instruments of this type, I offer these pictures as examples of my work and for those with an interest in baroque instruments.

I have been a violin maker for 44 years and I am proud of the reputation I have built. I am especially proud of the fact that many of today's most well known musicians have acquired multiple instruments of mine over the years; affirming the fact that not only do my instruments retain their sound quality but that they improve with time. Although I have retired due to medical issues, I continue to maintain my instruments for their owners and occasionally help with resales.
