I've interviewed Cremona Violins http://www.cremonaviolins.com/ and welcome you to learn more about their violins. Their online site is also available in Italian.
Could you describe what your Website is all about? It is about an Association of Violin & Bow Makers of Cremona and its province. It is possible to find all the information about the Consorzio itself and there also exists the chance to know the Permanent Exhibit of contemporary instruments made by the members. You can also find out information about the violin making activity in Cremona.
Do you have any tips for beginning violin players &/or their parents; such as renting vs. buying instruments, where to shop, practice advice, taking care of the instrument advice.....
Our site hosts updates and complete lists of violin and bow maker
members of the Consorzio working in Cremona. The Consorzio guarantees the
authenticity of every instrument and bow made respecting the Cremonese
traditional handicraft.
Anything you'd care to add..... What are your recommendations for
achieving success in music?
About the violin making, it is important to attend a good violin making school and, after that, to work in a workshop where to learn all the technique and "secrets" to make a very good bowed instrument.
Thanks for sharing with the group here, and here are a few additional features about their violin site:
Click on the photos in the "Fine Instruments" section to surround yourself with their permanent exhibition. Feels almost like being in Italy, yes? Continue on if you'd like e-mail addresses for Master Violin & Bowmakers' members. They're listed alphabetically.
Would you like to communicate in Italian? Learn online for only $15 through Virtual University at http://www.vu.org . Actually you can take up to three courses for only $15 total. What a deal! If you're interested in teaching, give them a yell, too. There are no violin courses listed...yet..!
Well, that's about it for now. Join us again next month for a summer sizzler. If there's a certain vacation violin "hot spot" you'd care to share, do write in at dbarnum@columbus.rr.com . Thanks for joining!
