Philosophy
My approach emphasizes repair and restoration which removes limitations to
musicianship; adapts an instrument to the personality and style of its musician;
enhances the life of the instrument and increases playability. My greatest pleasure is
bringing an instrument back to life and restoring its voice. My task combines listening
and analyzing problems of the instrument and finding the solution which meets the
player's needs.
