Whole families of musicians are not exactly rare. However, it is unusual to come across one that

includes not only writers and performers of music, but also an instrument maker.

When South Wales schoolteachers John and Hetty Watkins needed to get their ten-year-old son, Paul, a

cello to suit his blossoming talents, they baulked at the costs involved. “We had a look at various dealers and it

was obvious it was going to be very expensive,” John says. “So I wondered if I could actually make one. I

discovered that the Welsh School of Instrument Making was not far from where I lived, and I went along for

evening classes once a week for about three years.”

“After probably three or four goes with violins and violas, he had a crack at his first cello,” Paul, now

28, adds. “It turned out really well. He made me another one a bit later, when he’d got the hang of it. And that’s

the one I used right up until a few months ago.” John has since retired as a teacher to work as a full-time

craftsman, and makes up to a dozen violins a year – selling one to the esteemed American player Jaime Laredo

was “the icing on the cake”.

Both Paul and his younger brother, Huw, were encouraged to play music from an early age. The piano

came first: “As soon as I was big enough to climb up and bang the keys, that’s what I did,” Paul remembers.

But it wasn’t long before the cello beckoned. “My folks were really quite keen for me to take up the violin,

because Dad, who played the viola, used to play chamber music with his mates and they needed another violin

to make up a string trio. I learned it for about six weeks but didn’t take to it. But I really took to the character

who played the cello in Dad’s group. I thought he was a very cool guy when I was six or seven. So he said he’d

give me some lessons, and that really started it all off. Later, they suggested that my brother play the violin too,

but he would have none of it.”
