DONOVANVIOLINS

My name is Richard Donovan and I work independently as a restorer, dealer and appraiser. With more than forty-five years' experience I provide expert repair, restoration and adjustment of stringed instruments. After joining William Moennig & Son Ltd. in 1972, I had the opportunity to work closely with experts in the field of stringed instruments and bows including William Moennig III, William Moennig Jr., Dario D'Atilli and Philip Kass. My experience in repair and aptitude for varnish restoration provided an opportunity to study many fine instruments and to learn restoration and adjustment techniques from the excellent craftsmen who worked there. Since the mid-1990's I became increasingly active in sales... Violin repair, restoration and appraisal. Fine violins, violas, cellos and bows for sale.
