Violin restoration, making and musings from the workbench
Martin Gani meets the descendants of Andrea Amati, who invented the modern violin in the 16th-century, and the master violin-maker of all time Antonio Stradivarius
During the afternoon of the second in Florence we had the honour of visiting the workshop of Paolo Vettori and his sons. This business is the only one of its kind in Italy, where three generations of violin makers have practiced their craft for 78 years without a break in the tradition. Here is a view of the outside of the workshop where we waited for the family to arrive. Meet Dario II in his workshop, who carries on the tradition of his family business. Dario II is very proud of his work which he should be. Dario 1 was his grandfather and became known as "The Violin-Maker of the Mountain". His grandfather made 156 violins 37, violas, 2 violoncellos and 2 quartets before he died in 1973. Dario 1's sons, Paolo and Carlo continued the art. Dario II told us he makes around 6 violins a year. He works with his father, Paola, sister Sofia and his brother Lapo. Meet baby Dante, the next generation of violin makers. Meet Paola Vettori, the fifth-eldest son of Dario who started working in his father's workshop at a very early age. Here he is holding his grandson. Dante is clearly showing his fascination with the family business at a very young age. Eventually we moved downstairs to where different tasks were performed. It was fascinating watching Dario working at his craft. It was easy to see that he was a perfectionist and loved his work. For the construction of the instruments, the family uses molds and models that have been used in the family's business for years, some inherited from other famous violin makers. Dario mainly uses local and Bosnian maple (some of which were left by his grandfather), Italian poplar, willow, cherry and pear wood as well as the traditional violin-making spruce from northern Italy. The final result is clearly a masterpiece.
