Colin Charles Adamson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and
studied at the Newark School of Violin Making and graduated
with Merit. He then went to work in Helsinki, Finland for
the "Ilka Vainio" Company and also Weimar Germany
with "Lochmann and Zakowsky" where he worked as
a fine restorer/repairer. During his time abroad he worked
on and handled many Italian and French instruments which has
helped him develop into one of Scotland's best violin makers.
Colin's work is influenced by the classical period of violin
making and uses this experience to make copies and new instruments
of this distinctive 17th century Italian Period. Many of his
instruments can be found in the hands of professional players
and students from around the world.
Colin Charles Adamson has his own workshop in Edinburgh and
his time is divided between making and restoring. He is a
member of the British Violin Making Association and recently,
has become a founding member of Violin Makers, Scotland.
