Masterclass with Alina
Alina Ibragimova gave a masterclass at the Royal College. Afterwards she kindly tested my latest violin.

Ihle Violins Ltd
It has been nearly two years since I set up my workshop. In it, I have built seven violins and two violas and they are all sold and played in Germany, USA, Switzerland, the UK, Brazil and Belgium. More are coming a long steadily.
Occasionally I have had the pleasure to work with real Cremonese gold and some very fine player which both inspire me hugely and keep my personal quest for dense, juicy gold alive.
All this adds up and the best fitting legal format has changed from sole trading to setting up a limited company. On July 1. the company house of England and Wales has incorporated Ihle Violins Ltd with the company number 09666379.
