"Aesthetically very beautiful and meticulously crafted, I like the veins of the wood and the varnish applied like a paint. The sound is rich in harmonics, well balanced on all strings, in the bass the brilliance is particularly interesting. From one month to the next, the sound opens up and becomes more and more powerful, capable of radiating already very well into the open spaces. "

Sylvain Tournaire reproduces even the asymmetries of the drawing and the patina of the varnish
The Italian violin making of the 17th/18th centuries having reached unprecedented heights, the work of copying is of immense importance. It is essential to be in contact with the original instruments, to feel their soul and that of their creator.
Sylvain Tournaire reproduces even the asymmetries of the drawing and the patina of the varnish. It is then possible for him to use them as inspiration and to create personal, modern or baroque models.
