Guy How

The violin maker who refused to sacrifice everything for success.

“My brief was I don’t want to die”

14-hour days, six days a week. Two businesses to manage, all by himself. What started as entrepreneurial drive had become a living nightmare. When Guy How, violin maker and entrepreneur, approached his Hintsa team, his brief was devastatingly simple: “I don’t want to die.”

What followed was a transformative journey to redefine success on his own terms – without sacrificing everything that makes life worth living.

A life worth living, a business worth running.

A life you can call your own

Today Guy How runs what may be Finland’s largest violin-making shop while maintaining his health, energy, and family relationships. He’s found a craft he loves and built a life he can proudly call his own. His guiding principle remains beautifully simple: “Not wanting to die has been a pretty solid compass for me.”
