    Default Violin Maker

    This is a video of Dominique Nicosia making a violin by hand. He's a master instructor at the Ecole Nationale de Lutherie de Mirecourt (National School Of Luthiery of Mirecourt, France).

    Other than a few specialist items, most of the tools are ones familiar to us all.
    There is even a nice bow saw along the way. It's a beautifully made video.
    Worth a watch.

    Another one to go along with it, but it includes harpsichord making, too:

    The maker is George Wilson in this case.
