Established in 1822, the Royal Academy of Music stands as Britain’s oldest conservatoire, boasting a prestigious collection that includes musical instruments, artworks, memorabilia, manuscripts, letters, and musical scores. Integral to the care and utilization of these invaluable items are the academy’s expert luthiers.
These skilled craftsmen play a critical role in both the conservation and maintenance of the academy’s extensive collection of bows and stringed instruments. Their meticulous work ensures that these historical treasures remain in active use for today’s musicians, while also safeguarding their condition for future generations.
By blending traditional techniques with modern conservation practices, the luthiers help preserve the Academy’s rich musical heritage and support its ongoing mission of excellence in musical education and performance.
