History
Born in Dublin in 1956, contemporary research showed a serious decline in Irish instrument making, and with the support of the Arts Council and the Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Charles Haughey, Padraig was sponsored by the Irish Government to study at the Welsh school of Violin Making (1982-1985). He then gained professional experience as a violin maker and restorer in Birmingham, England and Vienna, Austria. Padraig currently owns and operates Hibernian Violins in Malvern, England. In addition to making new instruments, restoring old ones, and tutoring students, Mr. O Dubhlaoidh acts a consultant to museums, institutions and private collectors, on the care and conservation of musical instruments. Padraig is also a keen amateur violinist playing both classical and traditional Irish music.
