Sydney Luthier Justin White has been crafting musical instruments for over 25 years and to date has built over 160 instruments. His interest in lutherie was an amalgamation of both his background working with wood and tools growing up and his musical studies in both classical guitar and violin.
Justin began his musical studies as a teenager, learning both electric and classical guitar before taking up the violin. His tertiary music studies were at the University of New South Wales, where he studied both modern and baroque violin, and graduated with first class honours. He then undertook postgraduate research study in music theory and analysis.
