Ian Crawford McWilliams is a Canadian luthier based in the historical town of Brandenburg an der Havel, located 80 km west of Berlin. After completing his education in Vancouver, Ian embarked on a journey of craftsmanship and learning in England in 2002, honing his skills to become one of today’s most sought-after contemporary makers.
We are thrilled to present the first violin by Ian McWilliams in our collection. Crafted in 2024, this exceptional instrument draws inspiration from Guarneri models, offering a powerful, open, and resonant sound. Its tonal richness and projection make it an ideal choice for both concert soloists and knowledgeable players. This violin sold before we could even list it on the website, so look forward for more of Ian's remarkable work in the months and years to come at MyLuthier!
