Born in 1980 in the market town Grantham, Lincolnshire famous for Margaret Thatcher and Sir Issac Newton.
I was raised in the countryside and with few amenities at my disposal and at the age of 9 found woodwork a good avenue for my energy. I have been passionate about woodwork and from the first opportunity of holding one of my father’s chisels that had belonged to my grandfather. I started making various house hold items and in no time at all had created coffee tables, stools and paper racks to mention a few.
Just 10 miles from my parents home lay the world renowned Newark and Sherwood School of Violin Making.
I graduated after four years and passed with a Diploma and Merit for making and repair.
I started working at what now is the largest violin shop in western Canada, V.A.Hill Fine Strings and then went on to work at prestigious Frederick Phelps of London where I refined my making and restoration skills. In my time there I learnt basic bow repair and how to re-hair.
In 2004 Edward Gaut Violins commenced operation and relocated to Bristol In 2006.
