Full description
"Making a violin is always a new experience that takes advantage of the expertise and knowledge of decades of practice. Each time I relate to something that will be a new creation once the work is finished. During each phase, the material reveals its characteristics mainly because wood is a live material. And because of that, sometimes the job of a skillful luthier is to modify his initial project correctly. It is a joy to hear and feel how the plates I am making vibrate in my hands. My job is to bring out the best of it, to honor that part of a tree that lived for hundreds of years. I feel that I am responsible for giving life, which I felt while building this violin. For this cremona violin instrument, I decided to use a two-piece, well-flamed maple back obtained from an old cello back to revalue and give new life to this precious material. The paired table has about thirty years of seasoning. Sound, compactness, lightness, refraction of light and seasoning are the characteristics of the materials I prefer to use for the violin."
