Life

Mauro Lunati is an Italian violin maker based in Genoa. He built his first violin in 1981 and has since devoted his work to the construction of violins, violas, and cellos, with a particular emphasis on the acoustical properties of stringed instruments. His research has focused on plate tuning, the relationship between the corpus and enclosed air volume, and the careful selection and seasoning of tonewoods.
