How do you build a great violin? 🎻 It all starts with selecting the perfect wood! In this episode, I take you deep into my workshop in Cremona to reveal the crucial process of choosing the best materials for violinmaking.
✅ Why tonewood selection is key to sound quality
✅ How luthiers evaluate spruce and maple for violin construction
✅ What makes aged wood so special in violin craftsmanship
The right wood can shape the voice of a violin—its warmth, projection, and resonance. But how do luthiers decide which pieces will create the finest instruments? In this episode, you’ll see how I personally select and analyze tonewood, ensuring that every violin I craft has the best possible foundation.
