When we talk about Violin, we all think about Stradivari, Amati and Guarneri.
I believe Violin makers are trying to make instruments that produce beautiful sounds and impress many people such as theirs.
I am one of them trying to make such Violin.
I had been making Violin based on the sound I heard from tapping famous Violin.
Ifm trying to make instruments that play fantastic sound by thinking about reasons of asymmetry of thickness of top and back board in famous Violins.
As Violin maker, nothing makes me happier than the moments when players and listeners are impressed with sounds from my Violin.
At the same time, this gives me great power.
