TAKEHITO OKANOVIOLIN MAKER
The "Master Violin" is an instrument made with a lot of care and attention to each step, such as the selection of the wood, sculpting and assembling process.
The arching process was meticulous and took in consideration the strength of the wood. The thickness of the wood has been carefully adjusted to release all of the sound potential while playing. For this instrument we used birch, a rare and beautiful wood. It is a masterpiece with its own singularity that, unlike other instruments, will give you a very personnal sense of satisfaction.
