Masterful Violinmaking Craftsmanship

"What drew me to the art of violin making was that it combined several of my favorite things in life: a love of music, especially the sound of string and reed instruments- and an interest in woodworking, sculpting in wood, and especially wood finishing, and the optical effects that can be enhanced in wood finishing. (The old Cremonese makers were masterful wood finishers.) 

"I believe that the best violins are never perfect, but they are interesting, deep, powerful, and subtle. To the young professional looking for his or her first career instrument, I would advise taking the time to educate him or herself on the breadth of violin sound.

"It has been both a privilege and a pleasure to serve the music community for over thirty years, and I hope you have the occasion to visit the Eggen Violin Shop soon." - Rock Eggen
