Fifteen years ago, my daughter wanted to learn the violin. I took her to a music school in Chiang Mai, where students needed their own instrument. We ordered a violin from a shop in Bangkok, but when it arrived, the varnish and wood were poor despite the price. I asked the shop to exchange it, but they said this was normal for a 5,000-baht violin and that a better Italian instrument would cost hundreds of thousands of baht.
The shop did not replace the violin. It was sent back for varnish repair, but returned in worse condition. I decided to study the violin seriously and travelled to Romania and China to learn about European and Chinese violin making.
After gaining a deeper understanding of a luthier's work, I returned and opened Violin & String Studio. I use that knowledge to make, repair and adjust violins so players can enjoy every moment with their instruments. I always believe that quality is essential for every player's continued progress.
