Patrick performs on a Jean Baptiste Vuillaume violin created in Paris in 1840. JB Vuillaume is considered one of the finest violin makers in history and is widely played by some of the world’s greatest violinists such as Hillary Hahn. Patrick’s bow is created in 1925 by French maser Eugene Sartory. Patrick is incredibly greatful to the Irish Goverment and to the Department of Culture, Heritage and Gaeltacht for this support.

Patrick is a very proud ambassador of Musafia cases of Cremona. Both his violin and bow are housed in a beautiful Master Series Violin Case. Commenting on the case, Patrick said: “Musafia cases are simply a different level of elegance, security and style than any other brands. I have never felt so safe as with this wonderful case. A royal blue colour, it stands apart with poise and elegance”. Email Lorenzo at info@musafia.com.
