I was always fascinated by violin making, and made my first violin at the age of 15. I studied in Mirecourt, France, in the national violin-making school, where I completed the 5-years diploma course, first of my class. I then studied restoration in Paris. I have been self-employed as a violin-maker in Cork, Ireland, since 1995, and I have developed a very personal approach to the restoration and making of fine violins, establishing a reputation for sound improvements and quality craftsmanship.
I started playing classical music on the violin at the age of five, I then studied in Grenoble, and in Epinal conservatory, were I obtained a superior diploma with distinction. I'm still a very serious enthusiast and I'm a leader and active member of Cork Symphony Orchestra. It is this experience which feeds my perpetual search for the ideal sound, and gives me a great understanding of musicians needs.

I regularly exhibits instruments, and once a year, with the British violin-making association in the London Royal Academy of music. The last two years, my violins were chosen from over 50 by the Pioro and the Cappa quartet, who had been hired by the association to select the best sounding instruments for a gala concert. Because my instruments have been very successful, I'm now making violin, viola and cellos on a full-time basis.
Many professional players, and talented young artists, in places such as London, Spain, Germany, France, and Ireland, now play Legrand instruments. -
