My good colleague Kim Tipper in British Columbia and I were interviewed for this article on violin making. The writer nicely outlines some of the issues of making a fine violin today and comparing contemporary violins with older instruments.
Though there are a few errors, for example.
“Stradivarius.org reports that da Salo crafted double basses and violas that were considered the foundation for Italian violins” Not true. Credit today goes to Andrea Amati for the early design of the violin, viola and cello.
