Dominik Zuchowicz has been professionally active in string instruments since 1970. He makes a variety of modern and historical bowed strings, including all members of the violin family, violas da gamba and violones. A longstanding interest in early music and its tools prompted research into instrument collections in Canada, the United States and Europe with support from the Canada Council for the Arts. This has led to the on-going development of stringed instruments based on the finest examples from the past. He provides instruments and service of the highest standards in the interest of players and the music.
