String players often struggle with these questions... 'How do I choose which instrument to buy?', 'How do I know if my instrument is really handmade as claimed by the seller?', 'How do I know if an instrument is hand crafted, workshop made, or mass produced?' YES! There are loads of string instruments out there and whether they are personally hand crafted by master luthiers, or hand made in a workshop of violin makers, or factory produced in vast amount... does show a difference and we are here to show you HOW? WHY? WHERE? WHEN? WHAT?
Mr Tan Ching Seng of Deciso Violin Gallery, is Malaysia's very own fine violin maker and he has been crafting beautiful violins of his own. His extensive knowledge on string instruments has answered many of these puzzling questions. Do come, meet up, and chat with him this coming exhibition, catered specially for string players and music enthusiast who would like to learn more about string instruments. Entrance is FREE this 28th June 2015 from 10am to 8pm at Wawasan Room, Eminent Hotel, Kepayan Point.
We are also privileged to be hosting Maestro Liutaio Bertrand Yves Delisle! Read all about him and his works by clicking on the link included here. You are most welcome to meet Maestro Bertrand during this exhibition. He will be conducting 2 violin making workshops, at 2pm and at 5pm. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” We are now giving you an opportunity to get involved in learning about the process of violin making! You don't have to be a violin maker after attending this workshop. But if you are inspired to, as Mr Tan did many years ago, why not? However, the main point is, you can get to know the making of a violin since the very first slab of maple and spruce. Do come and find out more!
Lastly, not forgetting that this is a sales exhibition! YES! We have string instruments that you may purchase! See you there!
