A few words about me...

Born 1955, harpsichord maker, restorer and scholar of keyboard instruments, I was pupil of Grant O'Brien and also studied temperaments with Mark Lindley. After an apprenticeship, in the 1980s I established my own workshop.

My experience as a restorer and organologist have given me a background that has enabled me to produce high quality instruments built according to historical principles. My works have received the approval of an international clientele.

Instruments that I have made or restored have been played for concerts and recordings by Rinaldo Alessandrini, Bob van Asperen, Alda Bellasich, Renato Beretta, Fabio Bonizzoni, Dirk Börner, Fabio Ciofini, Sergio Ciomei, Paolo Corsi, Francesco Corti, Ottavio Dantone, Fernando De Luca, Ewald Demeyere, Stefano Maria Demicheli, Huguette Dreyfuss, Paola Erdas, Maria Cecilia Farina, Anna Fontana, Lorenzo Ghielmi, Luca Guglielmi, Kenneth Gilbert, Frédérick Haas, Pierre Hantaï, Christopher Hogwood, Stefano Innocenti, Alessandra Iovino, Robert Kohnen, Ton Koopman, Ruggero Laganà, Gustav Leonhardt, Roberto Loreggian, Tabitha Maggiotto, Walter Mammarella Giordano, Mario Martinoli, Francesco Maschio, Tiny Mathot, Carlo Levi Minzi, Lia Levi Minzi, Guido Morini, Davitt Moroney, Giulia Nuti, Stefano Peruzzotti, Davide Pozzi, Christophe Rousset, Alessandra Sagelli, Cipriana Smarandescu, Giorgio Tabacco, Gabriele Toia, Claudia Vignani, Kenneth Weiss and many others.

I have collaborated with many international organizations and musical institutions. Since 1992 I have been entrusted with the care of the keyboard instruments at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan. I wrote the keyboard instruments catalogue of this museum.
