Amorim Violins

La Casa Nuziale

Cremona tools!

By artists medium, do you mean tube color or dry pigments?

The pics really don't convey their beauty. Even better in person!

DHad the chance to visit Cremona this summer. It is a charming town, especially for connoisseurs of bowed string instruments. I was there only a day and a half. I Wish that I could have spent more time there! Hopefully this will inspire people to visit. First up is my visit with Davide Sora. I had a chance to see two of his violins and play one. Gorgeous instruments! The violin played great for an unplayed fiddle. Davide is as we know a master maker who is willing to share his time and information. I wish that I had taken more pics. Mille grazie Davide. More to come.

I did not see this view in my art history books...DB you have been working out!

Forgot to include the two other Davids from the trip. Tutti Davidi

I’m going to post a bunch of pics soon. Got to hang out with Davide Sora!

If memory serves, DB was one of the two Americani in the exhibit with David Gusset being the other.

Thanks but I should have used the manual mode on my phone camera...I was in hog heaven in Cremona.

They had a whole section of mostly contemporary violas. A few cellos.
