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. 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.
A decisive step in his approach to violin making was the meeting of Frank Ravatin (Vannes, France) and Francis Kuttner (Cremona, Italy) who both showed great generosity in passing on their knowledge.
He is an active member of the CLAC «Collectif de Lutherie et Archèterie contemporaine » which aims to contribute to the vibrancy of contemporary instrument making and to promote it.
New York, Paris, Berlin, Bantry, his instruments are regularly on display in some of the major violin making exhibitions.
