Started during my first participation in the world-renowned Oberlin violin making workshop in the summer of 2022, this violin follows model and scroll of the 1703 “Henry Ford” Stradivari, while f-holes, corners, varnish and antiquing are more the result of my personal taste and interpretation. To my great delight it ranked 9^th over 180 violins at the 2022 edition of the VSA violin making Competition, receiving also a Certificate of Artisanship. The instrument was commissioned and acquired by the US based collector Mr. Victor Chou.
