Its taken a while but finally got around to hanging my shingle out. It’s a surprisingly difficult thing to do, in a world of anonymity, to put a mark in the dirt and put yourself forward in my village. I’d like to thank all the neighbourhood for their hand in it. Grant on the ivories just around the corner who hung his Grub Mountain studios out 20 years ago, and never looked back, BP Laser down the street who custom cut the sign out for me, Glen around the corner who I bounced a lot of ideas off, Dave, Ross and Dwight – luthiers of violin and guitar who said have a go, John a former music store owner for the encouragement and all the blokes at the Mt. Gravatt mens shed with centuries of wisdom.
Special thanks to wholesalers Chris, James, Max & Andrew and who have trusted me with their brands and taken a punt.
Extra special thanks to my two sons, though whom a need and discovering the joy of fixing violins emerged….
