Nicholas Gooch
Nicholas Gooch was born and grew up in the university town of Cambridge, England. After leaving school and studying art and design at college, Nicholas left Cambridge in 1992 to begin his studies at the Newark School of violin making. After an extended stay in Newark, where he also worked as a member of staff at the school, Nicholas gained diplomas with honours in violin making, violin repair and restoration, baroque instrument making and classical guitar making.
In 2002 Nicholas moved to Hamburg in Germany and worked for the Winterling violin making workshop.
In 2006 Nicholas moved to Munich and started working part-time in the workshop of Lijsen & Wiest. At the same time, he dedicated himself to building new instruments.
In 2007, Nicholas opened the violin and bow making workshop together with Irina Feichtl. Now he was able to realise his potential in building new instruments and making repairs of the highest quality.
Following Irina's departure from the workshop in 2024, Nicholas continues to provide the service, which is characterised by professionalism, thorough advice and, above all, enthusiasm for every aspect of the work, from new construction to all techniques of restoration, loan instruments and the sale of professional quality instruments.
