About paris andrew

Yorkshire-born Paris Andrew initially apprenticed under the guidance of the renown harpsichord maker and restorer Fergus Hoey. She then attended the violin making school at Merton, in London, under Master maker Keith Graves. “As I embarked on my professional life, my desire to grow and learn as an artisan led me to study under Maestro Francesco Algieri to master the art of the Tuscan style, and also Maestro Fabio Chiari, who trained me in the construction of baroque instruments.” Four years ago, Paris moved to Florence, Italy, where she found the time, space and stimulus to finally create her own workshop. Inspired by the architecture and colours of the city of Florence, and the rich countryside that surrounds her atelier, Paris specialises in the construction of baroque instruments with the traditional Cremonese violin making method.
