Pavilion Violins - Warner Titterton Luthier

Pavilion Violins has been setup in central Brighton to aim to meet the growing demand for instruments which do the same job as the old Cremonese instruments at a fraction of the price i.e Fiddles that work.

I have played the violin since the age of five and have been a repairer and restorer for thirty five years and a professional maker for twenty years, training with an English maker and learning from the Masters in Cremona and Hungary.

My experience as a violinist playing in a various styles has enabled me to produce instruments which are easy to play, responsive and with a sound which is mature and projects well.

My clients are able to choose a model which suits their requirements whether they be a professional or a serious amateur. My instruments are constructed using Classical Cremonese methods and are entirely handmade with traditional tools. The final setting up of the violin is carefully done, in consultation with the player, to ensure that the instrument is easy to play and its tonal potential optimized.

My fiddles now embody the latest research into Cremonese acoustic principles and varnishing techniques.
