Anna Tummers
In my mid teens I fell for the sound of the double bass and started to learn to play. Not long after that I walked into a violin maker's workshop and started investigating the possibilitiy of becoming a violin maker myself.
I was offered an apprenticeship with Mathijs Heyligers in Cremona, Italy, in 1986, where I was taught to make and restore violins and cellos. I stayed for over four years, enjoying the atmosphere surrounding the International Violin Making School of Cremona and the year round music events and instrument exhibitions taking place in this historic Italian town.
I returned to my native city Amsterdam in 1990 where I worked alone making and repairing instruments. In 1997 I had the opportunity to learn more about bow making in the workshop of Matthew Coltman in West London, followed by a year work experience with Jutta Walcher in Oxord.
For a few years I took on all the bow repairs from J.P. Guivier in Central London. I also worked independently in South East London for the many musicans who live in that area.
Since June 2004 I live in Brighton, East Sussex, where I work from home repairing instruments and bows.
In April 2009 I took part in the violin restoration course organised by the BVMA at West Dean College.
This was a brillant opportunity to gather information, exchange experiences with fellow students and receive guidance and advice from five of the finest and most experienced violin makers and restorers of today.
