For many years, I’ve been building violins, violas, and cellos with great passion – combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to create instruments that truly come alive in the hands of musicians.

Now, I’ve decided to dedicate my time and skills to something special:

A handcrafted master violin that will later be given to a talented musician with limited financial means.

The Idea Behind the Project

High-quality instruments can open doors – they inspire, support artistic growth, and allow musicians to express themselves freely.

But not every talented player has the financial means to own such an instrument.

With this project, I want to change that – by building a unique master violin and funding its creation through crowdfunding.

Every contribution helps make this violin a reality. Supporters can follow the entire building process, from the first templates and wood selection to the final varnish and setup. Step by step, you’ll see the instrument come to life.

Why Crowdfunding?

I believe that great craftsmanship and music should be accessible and shared.

Crowdfunding makes it possible for this idea to come to life — a violin built entirely by my own hands, yet made possible through the collective support of many.

It connects people who believe in the value of tradition, artistry, and the power of music to inspire others.

As a special gesture of gratitude, every supporter will be eternally connected to this violin — their names will be placed inside the instrument, becoming a part of it forever. A reminder that this violin exists not because of one person alone, but through the shared belief in music and craftsmanship.

Your support – whether through a small donation, sharing the campaign, or simply spreading the word – directly helps to bring this violin to life and into the hands of a deserving musician.
