Graham Wright

A member of the renowned Violin makers of Scotland, Graham Wright is an established and respected maker.

"I learned my trade at the Welsh School of Violin Making, then returned to Scotland when the time came to set up my own workshop. That was in 1980. For much of that twenty-odd year period, I've made instruments based on classical Italian models. I've recently become interested in 5-stringed violins. A traditional musician asked me for a viola to take on tour and I thought a 5-string would be a good way to avoid having to carry two instruments. Although conventional instruments will always be my main concern, I enjoy trying unusual things and occasionally pushing the boundaries a bit." Graham Wright.

He makes instruments with both 'distressed' and 'straight' finishes but all posses a warm even tone across all the strings.
