Aidan Mulholland

I opened the door to my Donegall Street workshop in 1980 making bows and carrying out repairs to violins, violas, cellos and double basses - from setting up and fitting bridges to crack damage and reconstruction.
Other services include :
- Bow rehairing, using "best white" Manchurian stallion
- Fitting of new pegs
- Sound post adjustment for tonal improvement
- Bridge and nut adjustment
- Cleaning, to remove dirt and rosin
- Valuation for insurance

My Training

My bow making skills were gained through a course run by the bow maker Andrew Belllis, in Oxford and violin making with Bill Patterson in Cork.
It is difficult to give a quotation for repair work without seeing the instrument, so it really requires a visit to my workshop to investigate the extent of the damage and the best course of action to take.
I also have a small selection of 19th and early 20th century violins for sale that would suit the intermediate to advanced player. These can be found in the Instrument sales section of the website.
