to make an instument
Selection
of Wood
1. Certainly, there exist
diverse species of wood in the world that would serve to construct
excellent instruments. Many of the violin making schools in the world
instruct with the use of traditional woods already used anciently
by the great masters.
2. Criterion for selection
of Wood
The raw material is very important for the final result of an instrument,
and it is the joining of the raw material that defines part of the
sound and quality of the instrument. Because of this it is extremely
recommended that before construction of an instrument, the maker understands
the various reactions and effects caused by each material that composes
an instrument. (glue, wood, varnish, etc.)
3. Basic principles of
selection.
• The grain of the wood should be regular and straight.
• The cut should be perfect.
• No knots, cracks, or deposits of resin should be on the wood.
We accept commission of
new instruments, baroque or modern. For new instruments, some details
may be chosen, such as: color of varnish, manner of cut of the wood,
accessories and others, depending on the model.
Duration
time of construction
The time it takes to build a violin, viola, or cello is usually about
3 to 7 months. It can vary according to the number of requests already
solicited.
Style
Requests of new instruments, baroque, or modern style are all excepted.
For new instruments, some minor details may be requested such as:
color of varnish, specific wood cutting details pertaining to grain
or flame, accessories and miscellaneous, depending on the style
chosen.
