What Tools Are Needed to Make a Violin?
One of the most beloved string instruments is the violin. In northern Italy, during the mid-16th century, the craftsmanship of violinmaking required schooling for making these exquisite instruments. However, by the late 17th century the craft had spread to other parts of Europe, perfecting the instrument, as we know it, today. Most of the finest violins in the world are still handmade, using the best tools and materials available.
