Description

About JVI The founder of Jonathan Virginia, Inc. came to love fine wood at a young age. Raised in an old Virginia Landmark house, from birth he was surrounded by fine antiques. His love of music as a teen led him to meet a retired country man who had started to repair guitars and banjos in his spare time. "Even though I was only seventeen at the time, I still knew that I had met my first teacher. Not only did I learn about repairing musical instruments, but more importantly about the patience and discipline that was required to work wood and really to lead my life" After graduating from The University of Virginia in 1977, Fink set up a small guitar manufacturing shop in a studio of a local arts center. "Instrument making was experiencing a true renaissance nationwide at this time, and I remember traveling (hitch hiking) all over the country visiting other young artisans. This was a vital and urgent time in my life"
