You do not have to spend $100k to get the tone and beauty that you want. I believe that the worlds finest violins are being made today not 300 years ago.

Below are a few examples of my recent work .

Inspired by Guarneri del Gesu Plowden, Varnish of Oil and Pernambuco Lake.

Inspired by Francesco Rugeri, Varnish padded Oil Natural Color

Inspired by Guarneri del Gesu Heifetz 2019

“It was an incredible experience working with Dereck. He’s a great listener and was very patient with my requests. With my new violin, I now feel as if I am hitting my potential.”
