I had the wonderful privilege to talk to Violin Maker Andrew Ryan and got to see one of his beautiful Violins. Ryan is talking about all the detail that goes into the design and making of the violin up to the complexity of applying the varnish. He explains about the importance of knowing and understanding what the musician when designing a violin: "It's understanding how sound functions, how the musicians project the sound they are trying to make and how do they physically make the sound. He is also telling about the history of Violin making and why the Stradivarius Violin is such a has been so well known and sought after throughout the years.
