Violin by Joseph Ian Ross, Pitlochry, 2010
About Ian Ross
Ian Ross was an incredibly gifted maker based in Pitlochry, Scotland. We were proud to have known Ian: he was a hugely individual and charming man, endlessly talented, and incredibly generous to generations of players. He passed away at the end of February 2023 and we were very grateful to be given the chance by his family to buy the collection of his instruments. These instruments are now being finished in our workshop and added to our catalogue of his work.
Ian´s workshop was a treasure trove of instruments, all stunningly well observed and beautifully made. He had an amazing eye for different models and always has several different models on the go at once. Ian´s instruments are popular with traditional and classical players alike for their very human, expressive qualities.

How does it sound?
This violin has a bright, vintage tone with a definite Itzhak Perlman flavour! It's lively and responsive with an elasticity to the lower register. A lot of fun to play!
