Garth P. Lee, 2014

Violin

This instrument grabs attention as the shining star of any performance. Eager to fill concert halls, its tone deep and full of character with rich and varied overtones. With commanding power in the lower registers, it has a sweet and singing character in the upper ranges. Responsive and able to transition from delicate to powerful passages with ease. This is a true soloist's violin.

Garth Lee trained at the prestigious Newark School of Violin Making in England where he had the opportunity to study instruments from the workshops of Stradivari, Guarneri, Amati, and others. These occasions inspired Garth in his own work and he went on to graduate with distinction and the highest honors awarded in more than five years. This achievement was made possible in part by mentorship from Glen A. Collins. He then went on to work in a partnership together with luthiers Susanna (Sillberg) Collins and Seisuke Kawamura. Garth started his own workshop in in 2008. Garth’s instruments are played by professional musicians throughout Canada as well as England, South Africa, Norway, and New Zealand. He is a member of the Violin Society of America and enjoys attending the world renowned Oberlin College Violin Making Workshop where professional makers from around the world come together once annually to share ideas and techniques.
