Crafted with Passion and Precision
String instruments handcrafting is deeply intertwined with a profound engagement with wood. It commences with the meticulous selection of individual tone woods, organizing them based on their acoustic qualities, density, and physical characteristics. Each tone wood is suited for a specific string instrument, determined by the sound requirements, density preferences, and the musician’s role in the orchestra. For his string instruments, Petko Petkov uses maple and spruce sourced from the Balkans. He carefully selects and assembles individual components to establish a seamless connection and match that will metamorphose into the future violin, viola, or cello.
The essence of his craftsmanship lies in the meticulous attention to detail, the unique shaping of each element, and an unwavering commitment to the entirety and integrity of the instrument as a whole. In crafting his instruments, he employs a blend of natural dyes and personally crafted varnishes, derived from natural resins. These elements harmonize to accentuate the acoustic qualities and tonality of the string instrument.
