We are pleased to announce that we are putting on three days of events in the shop to celebrate the life and work of Ian Ross, one of the violin world’s unsung heroes. Events will take place between the 3^rd and 5^th of November and we would be delighted to see you there!

Ian was an extremely gifted luthier based in Pitlochry who sadly passed away in February, leaving around 65 instruments at various stages of the making process. We were fortunate to be able to acquire the complete collection of these instruments, a project that will keep us busy for a long time…

The first ten violins, violas and cellos are now ready to play. The exhibition will feature these instruments, as well the opportunity to see the unfinished collection. The details are as follows:

Friday 3rd of November

Instrument exhibition 12-5pm

Open workshop 12-5pm @ 2 Warrender Park Road

Saturday 4th of November

Instrument exhibition 12-5pm

Evening event at 8pm: a chance to hear more about the instruments and to hear them being played. We’re delighted that the brilliant Ryan Young will be joining Tim. Tickets £10, available via Eventbrite.

Sunday 5th of November

Instrument exhibition 12-5pm

Afternoon event at 3pm: session led by the wonderful Kirstie McLanaghan! We are so excited about this event and will be delighted to see anyone who would like to come along. The Ross instruments will be available to play and all are most welcome to do so. This event is free but please do book a ticket via Eventbrite so that we can keep an eye on numbers.
