I've been playing the violin since the age of seven. I was a scholarship
student studying with Olga Bloom at Hofstra University, and later with
Dr. Anne Yarrow at Molloy College where I received a B.A. in Violin
Performance.
My father, Joseph Maday, is a Master Woodworker. Early on he gave me the
skills I would need to make my first violin at the age of fifteen.
I worked with the Kolstein family of Baldwin and then for many years with
master violin maker Joseph Tripodi of Lynbrook, NY.
I opened my shop in 1982. I have worked unceasingly since that time on the
production of artist grade instruments.
Most work is performed to
custom order. I also try to keep a selection of instruments on hand.
