Youenn Bothorel

Youenn Bothorel is a luthier based in Dublin, Ireland. His sensitivity to music and its instruments led him at 19 years old to Newark School of Violin Making, England, from which he graduated in 2001. After experiencing life and working in different workshops across the world, he established himself in Dublin in 2008 and devotes his time to the creation of violins, violas and cellos.
While Youenn draws his inspiration primarily from the great masters of classical violin making, he is also stimulated by the evolution in contemporary making. He enjoys
sharing knowledge with fellow violin makers and has participated in various workshops and events worldwide. He is committed to understanding the unique requirements of individual
musicians and is keen to meet their expectations.

Youenn is an active member of the CLAC and some of his instruments are on display at the CLAC’s permanent exhibition in the heart of Paris.
