Description:

The video shows the ancient art of lutist. The violin is made with spruce wood which is considered the best one for instruments. The maple wood is used for the handle and the bottom. For other parts of the violin, the artisans use willow wood or ebony. The wood is worked with great ability and finally inlaid. The final step consists in the painting and polishing of the instrument.
