Violin maker's workbench

Varese, Italia — where violins, violas and cellos are made and restored.

Every instrument begins at the bench: seasoned spruce and maple are chosen and split, the ribs are bent over an inner mold, and the plates are carved by hand with gouges and small brass planes before the varnish is applied in thin layers.
