Why Testore Made Violins This Way

How does the life of a violin maker influence the way his instruments are built? In this video, I explore the fascinating story of Carlo Antonio Testore, one of the most recognizable violin makers of the Milanese school. Testore’s instruments are famous for their raw style, fast construction, and unique sound, a tradition that can be traced back to his teacher Giovanni Grancino. We’ll dive into: 🎻 The connection between Grancino and Testore violins 🎻 Why Testore adopted a simplified and faster violinmaking process 🎻 What makes a Testore violin different from Cremonese instruments 🎻 The legacy of the Milanese violinmaking school If you are curious about the history of Italian violin makers, or you want to understand how the background and life of a luthier shape the instruments we still play today, this video is for you. 📍 Don’t forget: you can also meet me in person in Cremona or in California this year.
