VIOLINS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

GOULBURN NSW Australia

These magnificent instruments under construction are on display at the Goulburn Regional Art Gallery until the 7th March 2015. I had the opportunity to speak with David Hart, the master violin maker whose work is on display. He gave me a detailed description of the lengthy and intricate crafting process, including the sources of the required timber.

It was inspirational to listen to David Hart passionately describing his history as a violin maker, from studying in Europe etc to the present day. The painstaking and delicate handwork has to be seen to be believed. Just keeping the tools razor sharp would have to be a special skill. Amazing talent, and an Aussie too.
