about Carlos LIbreros Rios
Carlos Libreros joined the International Violin Making School in Newark in 2013 which he graduated from in 2017 with an upper level distinction. During his studies he gained further practical experience working for numerous experienced Luthiers, before undertaking full time employment at the workshop of Roger Hansell. During his time there, he developed a passion and flair for the art of copying old Italian instruments.
Carlos now works part time as a luthier at Stamford Strings and at his own workshop the rest of the time making instruments to commission. He enjoys working on set ups and sound adjustments. He has successfully undertaken several major violin and cello restorations for us, and has a viola for sale in our shop.
