About this activity

In Milan there are many shops of masters who dedicate themselves with passion to this ancient and noble art. We will visit the workshop of a violin-maker who will explain the steps of building a violin and its secrets.

The String Sound of Tradition will bring you in the Museum of Musical Instruments in Milan, hosted in the Castello Sforzesco: it offers a perfect understanding of the Italian tradition of excellence in the manufacturing of bowed string instruments. Then we will visit the workshop of a Milanese master violin-maker, to discover a history of this highly artistic craft.
