Violin Restoration
In 2004 Jonathan helped set up the unique
2 week summer workshop for Violin related topics at the Banff Centre in the Canadian Rockies. Leading in teaching methods of repair and discussions these workshops have become an annual event. Plans are in progress for Summer '06. see www.banffcentre
By planning ahead and bringing your own commissioned work the time at these courses can be a viable work or learning experience in a truly magnificent setting as well as surrounded by a wealth of expertise.
