About Us

Born in Booneville New York, Stephen Davy Began studying the art of
violinmaking at the age of 26; first studying violin and bow restoration and
instrument set-up with master violinmaker and restorer Albert Moglie in
Washington D.C., conservator at the Library of Congress Stradivari
collection.


Violinmaking soon became a passion and after eight years of hard work and
study Stephen decided in 1982 to settle in Laguna Beach.  He first exhibited
his instrument building skills at the world famous festival of arts in Laguna:
a juried art show for five years.


His busy studio on Pacific Coast Highway seemed an ideal location for
setting up shop, with its ocean views and a warm feeling.  Now, for more
than ten years, it has been a meeting place for students, teachers and
professionals alike.
