Alastair makes violins and violas inspired by the models of the Cremonese masters: Stradivari, Amati, Guarneri, Rogeri and Guadagnini. “Since purchasing the Plowden del Gesu model made by Alastair Wood I have enjoyed playing on it for its rich and full sound especially on the G string and for its easy response in fast passages. I’d like to mention also the beautifully cut f holes. I can warmly recommend his work.” — John Lovell - First violin Royal Opera House London “l have found the Dolphin Strad model made by Alastair Wood to be an instrument of handsome appearance and a pleasure to play. The sound is beautiful and even across all four strings and is very responsive.” — Kolla Hjaltadóttir - First violin English National Opera London Click to see more
