Wendela Moes, born Wendela Taylor, was the 4th of 5 children in an academic family in Boston, Massachusetts. She entered violin making school in the fall 1971 after her studies at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
Wendela and Peter Moes met and married while attending the Violin Making School in Mittenwald, Germany and received journeyman’s diplomas after the 3½ year program in 1975. After graduation they worked for Hans Weisshaar in Los Angeles where they gained expertise in instrument restoration and repair. In 1978 they moved to England and went into partnership with a London dealer. After the birth of their first child this partnership was dissolved in October 1981. They then moved to New York City to open their own violin shop, MOES & MOES Ltd., at 225 W. 57th St, within view of Carnegie Hall. They were to remain working in New York City for 10 years
In addition to repairs, restoration and sales of fine old instruments, the Moes’s always specialized in making new instruments that are now played by orchestral and solo musicians around the world. Among those are Yo-Yo Ma and Hilary Hahn (see Moes Owners Club). They received a gold medal for the cello they entered in the International Violin Making Competition of the Violin Society of America in 1984. Wendela received a further award for a violin she entered in the 1984 competition of The American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers. The violin was on display at Lincoln Center for the Arts for several months.
