Traditional handmade instruments
“I create new, handmade violins, violas, and cellos - each crafted with care and available from stock - and also welcome bespoke commissions, including smaller instruments when required.”
About Rod
“In addition to building instruments, I produce and sell traditional lake pigments for colouring varnish, and, in collaboration with Fiddle Daemons, design and make violin restoration clamps.”
“I am pleased to warmly recommend Rod Ward’s violins. They possess a rich and resonant tone and even when absolutely new, respond easily and convincingly.”
Howard Davis, Alberni String Quartet
