Four Generations. One Pursuit: Exceptional Instruments.
The Violin House of Weaver represents four generations of experience helping musicians find instruments of exceptional tonal quality.
Whether an instrument emerged from an eighteenth-century Italian workshop or was completed recently by a contemporary maker, the philosophy remains the same: exceptional sound, exceptional playability, and meaningful value for the musician.
William Weaver, together with his wife Evy and daughters Heather and Kristi, continues the family tradition.
