Lorraine graduated from Newark in 2010 and since then she has worked for major restoration workshops in London and elsewhere in the UK where she has been able to perfect her skills and knowledge of violins, violas and cellos. She has worked on wonderful instruments by the greatest makers. From B. Norman , J.B. Vuillaume, to N. Amati. She continues to make violins alongside her restorations. This violin is a Strad copy. The workmanship is of the finest quality and the varnish is beautiful. Set up by the maker herself with Evah Pirazzi Gold Strings. It has a clarity of voice and a powerful singing tone.
