The soul, the élan, the personality.
Although there is accuracy in shapes
and the recreation of the model there
are no two identical instruments, the
same as what happens with people.
The maker, through skills, knowledge,
technique and sensitivity is able to
predict the acoustic properties of the
instrument he is making. The
personality of the instrument, its
reaction to different registers, the
colour of sound will have to wait to be
known. The birth of an instrument,
similarly to what happens with
humans, always implies a part of
happy unknown quantity.
THE SPIRIT
The construction of the
instrument's personality does not
finish with the luthier. The violin is
a container of experiences and at
the same time is pliable and
convertible within the limits of its
potentials.
Its personality is the outcome of
the maker, modulated by the
education he received through
years. Similarly to what occurs
with human beings.
