About us

​

We are a husband-and-wife team of musicians based in Kitsap County, Washington, with a shared passion for violin and all things music.

​

Nick's journey into violin making began in 2017 with a 2,000 hour apprenticeship with Walter Whipple, during which he completed 2 violins, a Hardanger fiddle, 3 Appalachian dulcimers, and numerous other repairs, rehairs, and projects to master the hand tools used. He has been trained in workshops by experts such as Lynn Berg (Hardanger fiddle construction), Lynn Hannings (bow restoration) and Iris Carr (varnish retouch).

​

Jessica is a talented violin teacher who has been sharing her passion for music with students of all ages and levels for over 9 years. She brings a unique blend of technical expertise and personal warmth to her teaching, inspiring her students to unlock their full potential and find joy in music.​

​

Our love story began when we met during an audition for the local symphony orchestra. When the COVID-19 pandemic halted rehearsals and performances, we decided to keep playing duets together. The first piece we learned together was the Bach Double Violin Concerto, and we played the Largo ma non tanto movement together at our wedding.

​

As a team, we are committed to bringing our expertise and love of music to every aspect of our work. Whether you're in need of a new instrument, repairs, lessons, or a stunning musical performance, we are here to help you reach your musical goals.
