Choosing the Wood Our adventure begins with a crucial step – selecting the perfect wood. Imagine walking into a room filled with different types of wood, each with its own unique qualities. Our craftsmen carefully examine each piece, feeling its texture and studying its grains. It's like selecting the best ingredients for a special recipe. We look for wood that not only looks beautiful but also has the right density and sound qualities to create a magnificent violin. 2. Carving with Care Once we've chosen the ideal wood, it's time for the skilled hands of our craftsmen to take over. Picture an artisan gently carving and shaping the wood, transforming it into the elegant curves of a violin. This step is like sculpting a work of art, where every curve is carefully crafted to enhance the instrument's sound. It's a delicate dance between tradition and innovation as our craftsmen strive to find the perfect balance of resonance and projection. 3. Adding Color to the Violin Now that the wood is shaped just right, it's time to make the violin look beautiful. Keeping the artist in mind and carefully painting the violin, giving it a special personality. Every stroke of paint adds something special to how the violin sounds. Our artists use special bows, some with a history, like antique violin bows, to add an extra touch of tradition. It's like putting the final touches on a picture, turning the violin into a masterpiece you can see and hear. Meet the Craftsmen
