The RAB Trust continues to find new ways of helping violin making students to develop their skills and find their way in the professional world. We have recently awarded a placement on the 2017 BVMA Restoration Course at West Dean College to Julian Page, a final year student at the Newark School of Violin Making. Coming from a background that included working as a skilled fittings maker for violin maker Roger Hansell, Julian impressed the trustees with his commitment and skill in the field of violin restoration.
