After completing a 4 years apprenticeship with Frans Van Dijk in Germany, I came to Britain in 1984 to continue my studies. I worked for the trade for many years, honing my skills in all aspects of repair work, bow rehairing, set ups, as well as continuing making. I now like to divide my time between making, repairing and research.
