Introduction
My latest commission is a prestigious order from the Becket Collection, which is housed in the Royal Academy of Music, to make 14 Baroque Bows.
This is part of the Vivaldi project to create a full Baroque Orchestra of instruments and bows for the use of the Academy students. Some of the completed commissions will be on display at the Genius of the Violin Festival in 2006, with the first concert scheduled later in the year, in the name of the Serafin Ensemble.
