Hello everybody,
Τhrough this blog you can witness the difficult but yet so fulfilling journey that we are about to embark upon and like many others you'll find yourselves drawn by the rich, vast world of violin making . From how the special wood is grown ; through how it is treated and then hand - picked, through the details, tools, smells, materials and colors that make up the building process and the fact that what once was a piece of maple and spruce becomes a playing violin with an increadible sound .
Amazingly enough my father, Christos, a self-taught violin maker managed to overpower once again the inconvenience of the unknown . Being a person of constant quest for challenge, he has occasionally worked with his hands in various projects, but it seems like these last 10 years he is very fascinated by the prοcedure of violin making . Though he often fixes and restores existing instruments, his love for this profession centers around the art, the process, the magic of creating beautiful new hand-made instruments from raw blocks of wood . Nevertheless, I have to admit that my younger sister, who plays the violin, has been the inspiration for all this, not only because of her continuous growing love for classical music but mainly because of her mandatory need for a remarkable violin .
Long story short, we will be able to follow him, step by step, as his fellow travellers in this tremendous trip and see for ourselves how he succeeds in integrating the building process of a violin and provide us with stunning results as the ones below .
