Portrait
Sing Him Wong is Head of Making at MyLuthier and works from our north London workshop. Born in Belgium in 1993, he started as a violin and cello player, and it was the pursuit of a particular sound rather than an interest in woodwork that led him to making.
He graduated with merit from ILSA Antwerpen, where he studied under Anton Sommer and Erick Buys. He works most often from the Guarneri del Gesu "Lord Wilton" and from the 1710 "Lord Dunraven" Stradivari, a golden-period example currently played by Anne-Sophie Mutter. His copies stay true to the originals in the scroll and f-hole shapes while carrying a personal signature of his own. Alongside new making he handles sound adjustment and restoration for the workshop.
His instruments have been commissioned by players as far away as Taiwan and the Far East, and several have gone out before ever reaching the showroom floor.
Sing Him is our own maker, so we would say this, but the instruments stand up without our help. The "Lord Wilton" models feel limitless from the moment the bow touches the string: power, depth, resonance and nuance, and crucially very easy to play. The G string resonates strongly enough that you feel the vibration in your hand, the D and A are deep and full with a sweetness to them, and the E projects exactly as it should at this level. The Dunraven violins are rounder and more balanced, with a setup built for comfort. He is the most promising maker we know, and we are fortunate to have him at the bench.

We first met Sing Him when he came to one of our events in London. He showed us this violin and we were immediately taken aback with how impressive it was. Both the craftsmanship and the sound were superb, especially for such a young maker. Sing Him is now our in-house restorer and luthier. The violin sounds powerful, yet sweet and balanced. The player will seamlessly change strings and registers with ease and the response is fantastic! A stunning sound reminiscent of the old Cremonese masters. Very hard to beat at this price range.

We were so impressed by Sing Him's work when we first met him that we offered him a position as Head of Making at MyLuthier! We have sold his instruments to clients all over the world and there is currently a waiting list for his instruments. This beautiful new looking Stradivari model, was made in Antwerp in 2021, before he joined us in London. The sound powerful yet refined, with a deep resonance throughout the register. The playability is very good, and its natural projection allows the player to feel comfortable without having to overwork the instrument. One of the best instruments you can find at this price point!

We are very excited to present our first in-house violin. Made by our resident maker, Sing Him Wong for MyLuthier, it is a stunning Guarneri 'Lord Wilton' model. Featuring his impressive craftsmanship and attention to detail, everything about this violin is refined and full of character. It has a very impressive sound and it what you would expect from a top Guarneri model violin. The low-end is full and rich with a very deep resonance. The higher registers are powerful and projecting but its wide range of colours allows the player to express lyricism and sweetness with ease. As you dig into the string, the violin's sound only expands, allowing you to get the most out of it and this remains the case even in the higher positions on all strings. This instrument was commissioned from us so is already sold but should you be interested in it or something similar, please get in touch. It is a very rare gem at this price point. We look forward to hearing from you!

Commissioned by a lucky player in Taiwan, this violin is finally ready and it was absolutely worth the wait! Made by Sing Him Wong, our Head of Making at MyLuthier, this is one of his finest creations. This “Lord Wilton” Guarneri model does justice to its name. Aesthetically, it stays true to the original, with the recognisable scroll and f-hole shapes. However, Sing Him has added his own personal touch to it, and this combination works very well. The sound is what truly stands out. From the moment the bow touches the strings, the violin feels limitless. It has power, depth, resonance, nuance, and crucially, it is very easy to play. The G string is absolutely phenomenal and resonates so strongly that you can feel the vibrations in your hand. The D and A strings are deep and full, with a sweet quality to them. Lastly, the E string projects as one would expect from a violin of this level. Although this one is sold, we have its twin sibling coming very soon, which will be available for order and purchase!
