At the age of 12, I began playing the violin. Later I went on to study the modern violin in Amsterdam with Jaap Schröder. It was however his beautiful baroque violin playing which
first sparked my interest in this wonderful instrument. After graduating with my degree on modern violin I spent three years studying with Lucy van Dael.
In 1988, I went to Canada to play in the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra. It was there that I began making early instrument bows with Stephen Marvin. Two years later I returned to my hometown of Amsterdam where I now work as a bow maker and baroque violinist.
