In 2015, Paula and I visited Cremona, Italy, the city where the great masters of violin making, Amati, Stradivari, and Guarneri, once lived and worked. Thanks to the establishment of a violin making school in Cremona in the 1930s, a hundred and fifty violin makers now call the city their home. Israeli-born Yael Rosenblum is one of the them. She is also a skilled string player and this, along with being a woman, provides her with unique insights into what it means to be a luthier in the world today.

I definitely have to agree with Ms Rosenblum about "factory" instruments. Mr. McHugh says that he's a writer. Can you imagine the difference in quality and cohesion if ten skilled writers set out to make a single story, but were only allowed to contribute one paragraph? There's definitely a place in terms of accessibility for mass produced violins, but there is absolutely a place as well for a single story teller in making one single instrument. Thanks for the great interview. Love her passion.
