Ep. 73: My and Strad's woodpreparation

Dear Friend,

Here another great secret of violinmaking.
It is my secret wood preparation and very likely it has been also the one of Stradivari, Guarneri and the rest of the Great Masters after 1686. Exactly in this year you can see that makers in this area here in Italy started to use a different wood preparation in order to avoid that their oil varnish penetrates into the wood.
This Casein and Calcium wood preparation, which leaves a very thin layer of protein I believe is the key point why we hear so much about the secrets in violinmaking.
So in one way it is actually true and in another I believe there is no shortcut to avoid masters ability to create a great sounding and magic instrument.
Some of my colleagues are already worrying that there will be no more secrets in violinmaking.
But there are soooooo many tiny tiny things which make the huge difference that there will be much more to come.
Enjoy my videos and feel like a master and don't forget that there are no long-lasting shortcuts in life. In one way or another we all know very quick a lot of interesting things but for real mastery you need many years.

all the best from Cremona
enjoy
