Viola 41cm - Marco Dotti, Ornati Cremona 2019 Scala Perfetta I had the unique opportunity

I had the unique opportunity to use extremely well seasoned tonewood

Than we set the neck at perfection and set up the entire instrument with lots of TLC (tender love care) as we do on all our instruments

Castronuovo di Sant’Andrea is a tiny village of just 850 inhabitants

Marco Dotti is the youngest maker here in my workshop in Cremona and from the very first moment he arrived in 2018 he showed persistence and lots of passion for our trade

Seems like that cellos right after they have been completed need some years to develop the right tone

Viola 41cm - Marco Dotti, Ornati Cremona 2019 Scala Perfetta I had the unique opportunityMarco Dotti is a very young Master. After he finished the Cremonese Violin Making School "Antonio Stradivari" he came as an apprentice to my workshop. He is not fast but persistence and his instruments have reached over the past three years an eye and ear opening level which attracts more and more customers around the world. I feel very fortunate to have him here beside me working every day.
