Last Sunday we had the honor of hosting Maestro Berni, who showed us and played, on the occasion of the conference “Comunicazione & Liuteria”, the soprillo saxophone in 5ib Eppelsheim and the J’Elle Stainer, the sax (sub-double bass ) largest in the world.

With its 3 meters in height and over 30 kg in weight it has been awarded Guinness World Records, as the largest saxophone that can be played by one person.

Violin Making workshop with Master Liu Zhao Yang. What part of the violin are they studying and creating? The bassbar. The bassbar is a spruce wood bar, positioned longitudinally and glued to the inside of the board, passing under the bridge. Its function is intended to be of support and is crucial for the final rendering of the violin ????. With the passage of time its structure tends to lose nerve, causing the violin top to lower and causing the lower notes of the instrument to lose strength. You must be very careful and carefully consider when to replace it.

To make the violin scroll we need an average of 18 hours of work and great hand skill, changing the size of the gouge as the hedgehog begins to take shape, maintaining a gradual increase in thickness, and then finishing the work with the knife, scrapers and finally with sandpaper, defining in this way the model. It is often thought that the chamfer that surrounds the violin scroll is superfluous, but instead it represents the identifying characteristic of each instrument, determining the style of the violin maker.

On World Earth Day , we want to share with you a fascinating tradition: that of the Paneveggio Forests of Trentino Alto Adige, which allow us to have very valuable wood for the construction of musical instruments.

Every year, in the days following the new moon in December, the forest guards of the Paneveggio area select and cut the spruce or “Mondholz” wood, also known as “lunar wood”.

Respecting the lunar calendar not only preserves the characteristics of the wood, but also respects the natural cycle of the forest. Some of the trunks are then immersed in the Travignolo stream, where the winter water keeps them, caressing them, rocking them and giving them the vibrations useful for its sound. We will then have to wait until May, to pick up and work the so-called “washed” wood. This wood, of great value in violin making, is characterized by elasticity, optimal duration over the years, lightness and quantity of harmonic vibrations, then transmitted to the future finished instrument .

Do you know the steps of making a bow? The construction of the bow starts from the choice of raw materials, from the selection of the wood, to its transformation that follows the aesthetic quality of the classic French style, interpreting the theoretical knowledge to create a fully customized model, which meets the musicians’ needs, in terms of energy, elasticity and speed. The bow hairing is also one of the main construction phases. Establishing the hair tension is what determines the performance of the bow. Would you like to know more about the bow hair? We await your reaction!
