The Toronto luthier gives a demonstration of his craft in a 2017 episode of the series History in the Making

In the January 2020 issue, Stephen Quinney explains how a camera crew from documentary series History in the Making filmed him at his workbench: ’They wanted to film the entire process of making an instrument – in just one day! I had to start preparing months in advance so that when they came round I had six instruments on the go, so I could bend ribs, carve f-holes, do some varnishing and so on, all in one go. It was fun to do, and people have said they’ve seen it around the world.’
