I was born in Budapest in 1986. My grandfather's love of working with wood captivated me as a child, and I quickly decided to pursue a career in craftsmanship. However, the atmosphere of violin-making workshops only really captivated me in 2009, at the age of 23 – since then, this profession has been an essential part of my life.
I graduated from the Musical Instrument Training School of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in 2012, then deepened my knowledge as a student at the Newark School of Violin Making in England, and later worked in several European workshops.
After a few years of work experience in abroad, I opened my own workshop, with more than 10 years of extensive professional experience. Where fine bowed string instrument - violins, violas, cellos - are made, based on traditions, but also in specific, individual style. I also deal with the repair of these instruments and their bows.
