"You can make a bad violin out of good wood, but you can't make a good violin out of bad wood."

The quality of wood is definitely an important element for violin-making. Softer top plate made of spruce passes vibrations through the sound post. Then the hard maple back, acting like a speaker cone, sends the sound back out to the listener. For a violin to have the best tone quality as possible, the wood must be from the ideal tree and locale, properly seasoned, and have proper grains. 

In our workshop, the high-quality European wood is selected with beautiful grains and flames, good forms of fibers. After well seasoned and dried for 12 years, the wood is carefully handcrafted into finest violins and violas. The delicately carved details and beautifully applied varnish show our outstanding attention to the craftsmanship.

On the other hand, while construction of a violin concentrates on producing impeccable sound, it is also strictly regulated by physical and acoustic laws. As an instrument of precise function, nothing about the violin can be changed without seriously disturbing its equilibrium. Violin making, in comparison to the making of other instruments, is very conservative. The ancient violins by master luthiers (Andreas Amati, Antonio Stradivari, Giuseppe Guarneri, etc.) have been widely acknowledged due to their outstanding quality of sound.

The secrets of these ancient masters have been discovered by scientific studies. With the understanding of these principles of traditional violin-making, we can make instruments as those ‘great’ violins passed down to us.   

The scientific methods are comprehensively used in our violin-making process. Dimensional and other quantitative measurements are taken at each step when an instrument is made by us. Our violins and violas are crafted precisely based on the tradition of ancient masterpieces to produce best sound quality.
