Rachelle R. - “This violin is a pleasure to play, with a rich and warm sound. The attention to detail is clear in the craftsmanship and in its comfortable feeling.”
-
Amadea is a bespoke commission built around a 1967 spruce core, the top, bass bar, lining, and soundpost all cut from the same tree, creating a unified acoustic foundation shaped by nearly six decades of natural seasoning. This continuity of material allows the instrument to respond as a single, coherent structure. Maple forms the ribs, neck, and bridge, providing long-term stability and balanced geometry.
Visually and structurally, Amadea is defined by deliberate contrast: a commanding bloodwood back, zircote and koa inlays, a bloodwood and figured Claro walnut tailpiece, and refined details including deer antler and ebony fittings. Every material was selected not only for beauty, but for tonal intent and durability.
Amadea is based on the Stradivari Titian model, with increased front and back arching, and a lowered rib set, voiced for intimacy, warmth, and close-listening depth suited for chamber playing.

Pacific Series. Waitlist Open
A Limited West Coast Series
The Pacific Series is a limited body of five violins shaped by the materials, colours, and atmosphere of the British Columbia coast. Each instrument is conceived as part of a unified series, with the model, wood selection, fittings, and varnish guided by a single regional design philosophy. The result is not simply a group of related instruments, but a coherent body of work rooted in place, material, and finish.
Materials and Coastal Character
These instruments are built from carefully selected coastal materials chosen to reflect the visual and material language of the Pacific coast itself. The series centres on coastal maple and yellow cedar, with varnish colouring drawn from natural regional sources such as Western Red Cedar, Douglas fir, and Arbutus. The intention is not to apply a superficial theme, but to allow the instrument to carry something of the place in its structure, colour, and surface.
A Unified Series Philosophy
Each violin in the Pacific Series stands as an individual instrument, yet all five belong to the same family of work. Their connection lies in a shared structural and aesthetic direction, so that the series reads as a complete artistic statement rather than a set of unrelated commissions. Together, they form a limited edition defined by continuity of material, tone, and design intent.
Documentation and Provenance
Every violin in the series is accompanied by documentation identifying the instrument as part of the Pacific Series and recording the principal materials used in its making. Where applicable, this documentation also notes the source, age, and provenance of the woods and varnish-colouring materials. This record is intended to preserve not only the instrument’s origin as a Jubb and Son work, but also its place within this specific and limited series.
Authentication
In addition to the visible workshop label, each instrument will carry multiple discreet identifying marks used to confirm its place within the Pacific Series. These details are intended to support long-term provenance and provide an added level of authentication beyond the interior label alone.
Edition Size and Pricing
The Pacific Series is limited to five instruments only.
Each violin is offered at $22,500 CAD.
Waitlist and Priority
Those who join the waitlist will be given the first opportunity to purchase before any remaining instruments are offered publicly. The waitlist is intended to provide advance notice and early access to the series, but placement on the waitlist alone does not reserve or secure a specific instrument. Priority will be given to buyers who proceed with a deposit, and a deposited instrument will take precedence over waitlist position alone.
Release
These instruments will become available as they are completed and released through the workshop first to those who have joined the waitlist. Any instruments not secured by deposit will then be made available more broadly.
