The Essential Set Up Course with Kathrin Hügel and Adam Winskill

This course is for those at the beginning of their careers or who are in at least their second year at a violin making school.

Learn how to perfectly set up an instrument. This seems basic but it is crucial for your career, whether you are a restorer or maker. A good set up will contribute to making an instrument sound as good as it can without compromise in comfort for the player.

Kathrin Hügel and Adam Winskill will talk you through each detailed step before applying the theory into practice.

There are 10 places available for this popular course. Cost for the workshop is £800 - £1,250 with a £100 deposit payable in advance.

This includes all teaching, accommodation and food.

Bursaries are available.
