I was born in 1962. At school the violin caught my interest,
so in 1981 I started working in the repair workshop
of Merling violinmakers in Copenhagen, where I learnt
a lot of basic craftsmanship.
In 1982 I was
admitted to Newark school of Violin Making in England.
Here I made several violins, a viola and a cello, and
I graduated in 1985 with a diploma of merit standard.
The following year I worked as a violinmaker with Merling in
Copenhagen before joining Geigenbau Machold in Bremen, where
I spent three interesting years in the workshop. Precious
instruments passed through the workshop every day, and I
learnt very much about restoration from working with such instruments.
From 1989 I worked for 1½ years in Zürich, taking part
in opening of Geigenbau Machold´s branch there.
On the 5th of November 1990 I opened my own shop at
Gasværksvej 15 in Copenhagen.
