Guy Harrison
Guy Harrison began working in the violin trade at the age of 13 in Australia. He went on to study for three years at the Newark School of Violin Making in England. After graduating with the highest level of distinction he was employed in Europe and further trained in the restoration of fine instruments. In addition to restoration work, he had the rare privilege to make instruments under the name of his employers.
image After crafting instruments in Europe, he moved to Canada to open his own studio. In recent years, he has taken part in the world-renowned Oberlin College violin making workshops. The workshops allow professional makers to share ideas and work side by side with a spirit of excellence to advance the craft of producing new concert instruments.
In 1997 he was awarded the silver medal in Germany at the Mittenwald International Violinmaking Competition and in 2010 he was awarded a Bronze medal for violin at the Mittenwald competition.
Guy Harrison is member of the American Federation of Violin & Bow Makers, of which there are only 7 members in Canada.
