Rowe Violins and Guitars

Rowe Violins and Guitars Custom made Violins, Viola and acoustic and electric Guitars. The success of this project inspired me to explore the production of violins and violas.

A lifelong passion for working with wood has culminated with my entry, into what I believe, is the finest art in this field – musical instrument making. Initially I crafted an acoustic guitar to familiarise myself with the techniques, skills and methods required to produce quality instruments. My research led me to meet the late Mr Rex Thompson, a well known Adelaide Luthier and then Chairman of t

he South Australian Branch of the Australian Association of Musical Instrument Makers. I was privileged to benefit from his knowledge as he offered me tutelage and mentored me through the creation of my first violins. I use the traditional tap tone method and chladni plate tuning technique to produce concert grade violins.

Buying a new instrument is a critical step for the novice guitarist. A basic knowledge of the instrument and an assessment of your musical goals will help you make a wise purchase, a purchase you can enjoy for years, perhaps even a lifetime. Walking into a shop without a basic understanding of the instrument and your goals is a formula for disappointment.
