Arthur Robinson - Internationally acclaimed violin maker, Instruments made to order using the classical methods from european timbers (maple, spruce and willow) which I select for sound quality

A lifelong passion for working with wood has led me to what I believe is the finest Art in this field. Having built an acoustic guitar, my interest led me to Violins and Violas. After meeting the well known Adelaide Luthier and then Chairman - South Australian branch of the Australian Association of Musical Instrument Makers, the late Mr Rex Thompson, my interest escalated. He mentored me through my first few violins.
