Caitlin McGinn
Caitlin McGinn is a 2015 graduate of the Chicago School of Violin Making, where she studied under the tutelage of Rebecca Elliot, Fred Thompson and Henni Hahn. At school she learned traditional methods of violin construction as well as instrument repair and bow rehair. She continued her studies apprenticing with master luthier William Whedbee and has attended violin making workshops led by Joe Thrift.
Caitlin is a talented cellist and so has deep insight into the subtleties that make for a comfortable, easy to play instrument. She specialises in building fine cellos.
Based just outside of Dunmanway in West Cork, Caitlin welcomes musicians who are seeking experienced repair and set up work or who would like to commission their own McGinn instrument!
