The foundation and inspiration for Peter's instruments can be found in the study of the best examples of the works of the Classical Italian Masters from Stradivari to Guarneri. His models are personal interpretations and are continually being refined to achieve excellence in both tonal and aesthetic qualities.Each instrument is individually crafted from the finest quality European tonewoods, maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship and finished with a rich oil varnish. These factors combine to give each instrument its own individual character and voice, ease of response, power and projection.
