Violin maker (luthier) in Cremona, Italy where I make violins, violas, cellos and viola da gamba.
I take pride in understanding all the technical processes which go into creating a great instrument making a very few a year to ensure the highest quality possible. I know the whereabouts of most of my instruments and get to see them from time to time as the musicians who commission them often become friends.
I'm a member of the Michelangelo Foundation and the BVMA.
I handpick every single piece of wood for his instruments to ensure that each piece is of the highest quality and to make certain that every one of my instruments will have a long lasting life.
I work alone from scratch on each instrument and, as I have a background in Engineering, I also have a keen interest in the physics of the instrument and the importance this has on the acoustics.
My workshop is in the city centre of Cremona, just a stone’s throw from the home of Stradivari.

Какой же это труд ..адский ..
Complimenti, sei l'unico che ha fatto vedere mettere l'anima.
Gtreat. Also would be good to know, what the specifics of a Ruggieri Cello are.
you do ribs after plates? (garland after table?)
Very beautyful violín. Thanks for shearing. Great work of art.
If someone asked me today what were some of the things that got me through quarantine those years ago I would say one of them was learning about violin making watching this violin maker guy in some city I'd never heard of make violins. Thanks for your videos! Hope you're doing well. :)
For me I choice bois d’harmonie is best
Very nicely done video, Lucas. David Burgess
Hi, I've read the Cannone has thicker plates with flatter archings and taller ribs than most Cremonese violins. Would you share what rib and plate arching heights you used for your model?
Who decided, or perfected the angle of the arch for the top, and the amount of scoop for the back? It's seems such a lot to know. Thank you. At 4.47 minutes you are doing what I referred to as scoop--- the inner arching.
Question for you sir, will a kit violin actually sound good? I realize that good is a relative, subjective term. Is it it best to start a violin learning/making/ playing journey with a kit violin, and then later on graduate to making one from scratch?
Thank you!
This would be so much more informative and helpful if you told us what you were doing and why. If it is supposed to be an instructional video of or cello making.
Gee, thanks.
Wonderful video series, especially as I prepare to build my first cello. If you do not mind me asking, why were smaller strips of wood glued to the end blocks prior to gluing them to the form?
If I was going to build new instruments. I would take into account modern scientific ways. I would follow Doctor Nagyvary's work with woods and varnishes. I would use CNC routing machines to route the basic shapes from what is known and then use traditional methods to fine tune it. I would use modern glues instead of hyde glues. Of course the purists will scream to high heavens but all you need to do is to prove them wrong. Very fine instruments should be for the common folk also. The old makers did this with their level of tech available. Why should it stop with them? I bet someone will find a better material than pine woods form a specific forest in Italy soaked in salt water. Metalic alloys perhaps. It will be a hybrid that takes the best of all worlds.
To be fair, all of the things you have mentioned have been tried many times but high end violin making always goes back to traditional techniques. Whether it's for prestige or sound, who knows?
Is that just a standard bar of soap that you use to keep glue from sticking to your form? Or is it a bar of wax or something else?
Please tell me how to find the location of the bass bar? It's the same way, like a violin?
What wood is this
Lucas, on average how long from start to finish does it take to build a cello by hand? How many are built per year? What is the cost of one of your cello’s?
Lucas, it is amazing how the finger planes and scrapers take out the deep troughs left behind from the gouges! Do you know Maestro Kimon?
Luca, what material is the purpling made of?
Luca, what distance is the purfling typically from the edge of the cello?
Lucas, you take for granted the amount of time and effort that goes into producing such a beautiful instrument that mimics the human voice from bass/baritone all the way up to soprano. Lucas, is there such a thing as a world cello registry? What does the serial # 10735 signify? Was this cello built in 1943? My cello was built in Germany. Please advise me.
My grandpa carved my violin in 1904 with a jackknife and glass scrapers , he was twelve at the time and a full grown man hunting and trapping our family traplines ranging from Indiana to Canada. It's my most precious treasure
One question, do either of you build a violin using the old world technique of hammering in hot rot iron nails into the neck as Stradivari did? What are your philosophys regarding buildi g baroque violins compared to modern violin construction? Thank you gentlemen for your dedication to this wonderful artform! Appreciate very much.
Excellant! Thank you!
Should have started with making the varnish.
Thank you for these wonderful videos. Really lets one appreciate just how much work and craftsmanship is going into a fine instrument such as this! I'm just wondering, what is the original weight of the plates, and what is the final weight? It seems like a lot of beautiful maple is being discarded in the process... probably can't be avoided, but still a little sad. Wouldn't it be nice if you could "scoop out" some of the center stock for making smaller instruments? (Not practical, I know...)
thats really sharp blades to cut through maple, how are you hands?
Asmr I can actually get into 💪🏾
Thanks!!
Thank you!!
Thanks Lucas. You are a legend!
Hi, why don't u use any power tools to speed up your work, at least fro the rough cuts before going in with the chisel etc?
It is amazing, do you sell these?
Hi I'm taking my first steps learning to become an archetier. Thankyou for the video. What is the black wood that you are using? Thanks again.
Hi there. These videos are extremely helpful for me as I am a complete novice at building stringed instruments. Did you build your own forms? If so, do you have videos on how you created them? Templates, measurements, etc.? If I can buy them (or the templates to build them), where can I buy them?
The akusticus is really a very good tailpiece for many cellos -- not even considering the low price. I. would say that for rather bright sounding instruments it could even be the best option. For me I do have a bois d`harmony on a cello which is rather dark sounding and it is a bit brighter or maybe can produce more overtones than the Akusticus. I am not really convinced that the two other wooden tail pieces introduces here are better options for this very cello, but i guess that could have something to do with the sound my computer produces ( have to listen with good headphones again I. guess)...
What about resale value? When this sustainability fad peters out nobody’s going to want an instrument made from fake wood. Why not just use aluminum? Ugh.
It will not affect the resale value at all, as fingerboards are nonetheless parts of the instrument that get changed over time anyways. When they get some use over them, they get removed and replaced. It’s a very common and simple process. So if someone doesn’t want that fingerboard, it can simply be changed for another one. Even though the question is rhetorical, the reason why not using something like aluminium is very simple. It’d affect the sound of instrument massively. That’s why I’m looking that these alternatives to ebony are also made out of wood, and if you reach to the end of the video you’ll see that one of the reasons that I’m giving on why I don’t think I’ll use it is exactly that one, the sound (even if it’s better for my allergies and all that). So to summarise it. No, it won’t affect the resale value. The instrument is made out of wood (same wood that has always been used). The alternative fingerboard is also wood based. Thanks for your comment though, as I said at the end of the video I’m really interested in knowing what people think of these alternatives, if they’d buy an instrument with any of them and so on. So your answer is a very honest one and certainly representative of what a lot of people might think.
@@LucasFabro thank you for the toughtful reply. I do admire your work and honesty
Everythings perfect! I am grateful for this invaluable video and information Lucas. Thank you 🙏
Wood you make a video on using a dial indicator I have one but don’t no how to use it for violin making the front and back of the violin thank you Don
No no cettw reparation : faible...!!!
La mezure et la rge!!!! Il faut quele que sontim😁😁😁😁
Vous n'ete pas comme makiynne
beautiful work!! Are you allergic to african blackwood, I noticed the mask and gloves when you were working on the fingerboard?
Thank you for sharing this video. Such stunning work!
Why the glue on the base of the neck at about 3:30 ?
Your videos are good, but it would be more helpful if you can explain what you are doing and why..
Still wonder how a violin made out of Australian blackwood like what is used to make the Maton acoustic guitars, would sound like?
