BOARDMAN VIOLINS

Boardman Violins is a family business. Peter and Rory Boardman make and restore instruments in a rural workshop next to the family home just outside Donaghadee, Northern Ireland... We make conscious decisions regarding what patterns we use, what wood, what fittings etc. From concept to fruition, our work flows organically and whilst each instrument is different, they all intentionally bear the hallmarks of the Boardman family. We endeavour to refine every aspect of the making process, using primarily hand tools to transmit our ideas directly into the wood, just as the classical Italian makers would have done.
