My interest in violin making began in 2007. In Xalapa I completed my first training in violin making at Nahúm Landa Roldan's workshop, where I learned how to make the violin with the French external mould method. In 2010 I decided to go to Cremona (Italy) and I graduated in 2014 in violin making. From 2014 to 2015 I took the course in acoustics in lutherie led by luthiers Luca Primon and Marco Osio. Between 2015 and 2016 I was followed by violin maker Silvio Levaggi in the manufacture of new violins, focusing in particular on the designs and tuning of the instruments. In 2016 I had the opportunity to go to Paris to do an apprenticeship in the workshop of Charles Coquet. Since 2017 I continued to sporadically improve my professional experience with several violin makers such as Alberto Giordano, Jérémie Legrand, Monica Fortin and Melina Polizzi. Today I work in our workshop in Rennes, especially in new making while continuing training abroad. <img width="1200" height="900" width_o="1200" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4ad287015f4fa94951e82c00e400bd8673a4a540104ef08329c8cfd96021e5ce/FullSizeRender.jpg" data-mid="169724212" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4ad287015f4fa94951e82c00e400bd8673a4a540104ef08329c8cfd96021e5ce/FullSizeRender.jpg" /> VIOLIN MAKERFEDERICA THOENY Born in Switzerland, I grew up surrounded by music. I decided to train at the University of Friborg in Musicology where I graduated in 2011. My curiosity did not stop and I went to Cremona (Italy), to specialize in violin making. In 2014 I graduated from the “International School of Violin Making Antonio Stradivari”. During my training I also enriched my knowledge of violin making and restoration in the workshops of Andrea Castellani, Pascal Hornung and Silvio Levaggi. From 2014 on I did apprenticeships in the workshops of Pierre Barthel, Joel Klépal and Antoine Lescombe in Paris. From 2018 to 2021 I worked as a full-time luthier-collaborator in a workshop. In June 2021, in London, I improved my training in high-restoration and conservation of musical instruments in the prestigious workshop of Florian Leonhard, alongside Julian Döring,&nbsp;who is a source of a great inspiration and with whom I have since collaborated. Since 2022, my work has taken place in our workshop in Rennes, where I am specifically dedicated to the new making, maintenance and restoration of instruments. In July 2025, our new wotkshop opened in Lugano-Figino in Switzerland. https://stlutherie.com/Instruments Thu, 09 Oct 2025 08:54:21 +0000 Salazar & Thoeny Liuteria https://stlutherie.com/Instruments <img width="1280" height="1600" width_o="1280" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9affbe939ff4a01ca3eef9bd864278e31719452dc3451d4ba321a5f76fc3d49a/ad3c039d-d284-4e65-9e95-7cdadfd231f0.jpg" data-mid="239185527" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9affbe939ff4a01ca3eef9bd864278e31719452dc3451d4ba321a5f76fc3d49a/ad3c039d-d284-4e65-9e95-7cdadfd231f0.jpg" /><img width="1280" height="1600" width_o="1280" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b08ac47ed2b09269187b569d2aa0ba8ea52204558ff8f688ab56d9308f393373/08a28a09-deaf-439b-a261-dbcba1d41a97.jpg" data-mid="239185525" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b08ac47ed2b09269187b569d2aa0ba8ea52204558ff8f688ab56d9308f393373/08a28a09-deaf-439b-a261-dbcba1d41a97.jpg" /><img width="1280" height="1600" width_o="1280" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0d36f753f0610ed7811cf3bbc058c97a06c3b02aeb37b9ff288b7bab143ccddd/235fd0b3-0e2f-457b-879c-8ed32b8cd928.jpg" data-mid="239185526" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0d36f753f0610ed7811cf3bbc058c97a06c3b02aeb37b9ff288b7bab143ccddd/235fd0b3-0e2f-457b-879c-8ed32b8cd928.jpg" /> https://stlutherie.com/Images-1 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 10:15:04 +0000 Salazar & Thoeny Liuteria https://stlutherie.com/Images-1 <img width="2016" height="1512" width_o="2016" height_o="1512" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b1b092514469d251bebcb51a7e073623128cee5ccc04a27ca346f0370f5f9c7/45df9989-da7e-45cb-9daa-176ba0982645.jpg" data-mid="169724222" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b1b092514469d251bebcb51a7e073623128cee5ccc04a27ca346f0370f5f9c7/45df9989-da7e-45cb-9daa-176ba0982645.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1600" width_o="1200" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f74c68e3fbd8d0992869a3d604940c15d4f7387f108f0c05d383a770f23e856a/25ac9ca4-f141-4a75-b396-97649c3997cc.jpg" data-mid="169724221" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f74c68e3fbd8d0992869a3d604940c15d4f7387f108f0c05d383a770f23e856a/25ac9ca4-f141-4a75-b396-97649c3997cc.jpg" /> <img width="1512" height="2016" width_o="1512" height_o="2016" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2fe25719849d74a7019dfbeac05839bc6df2b4e87bd43caaf95b76bfef38fb84/3.jpg" data-mid="169724213" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2fe25719849d74a7019dfbeac05839bc6df2b4e87bd43caaf95b76bfef38fb84/3.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ca46e0b39320a63841ac59a060bf3f99527b61ee5d680ecf31efeca500b0261/8.jpg" data-mid="169724216" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ca46e0b39320a63841ac59a060bf3f99527b61ee5d680ecf31efeca500b0261/8.jpg" /> <img width="1512" height="2016" width_o="1512" height_o="2016" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/daed05b262e35c801c94d93c6e5a9586e6950dc749a81a040e50646585ce834a/69f6dec5-2cc8-49ff-a2d6-ae8c233566e7.jpg" data-mid="169724223" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/daed05b262e35c801c94d93c6e5a9586e6950dc749a81a040e50646585ce834a/69f6dec5-2cc8-49ff-a2d6-ae8c233566e7.jpg" /> <img width="2536" height="3625" width_o="2536" height_o="3625" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e03ca0af27e9abc6b1ccd9d8b6e48864eb2384f30e968c54c694ae05a6719d5a/11.jpg" data-mid="169724219" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e03ca0af27e9abc6b1ccd9d8b6e48864eb2384f30e968c54c694ae05a6719d5a/11.jpg" /> <img width="3865" height="2800" width_o="3865" height_o="2800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3f00af184c78fcc249be89aa64107cf98bb96dbca7b79eee1b4e66ecf2f21cc8/10.jpg" data-mid="169724218" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3f00af184c78fcc249be89aa64107cf98bb96dbca7b79eee1b4e66ecf2f21cc8/10.jpg" /> <img width="3088" height="2320" width_o="3088" height_o="2320" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a12631aedd556b328ec4fe96d92238b481be33532461425d7295f607d0a6ded9/9.jpg" data-mid="169724217" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a12631aedd556b328ec4fe96d92238b481be33532461425d7295f607d0a6ded9/9.jpg" /> https://stlutherie.com/Contact-1 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 10:15:09 +0000 Salazar & Thoeny Liuteria https://stlutherie.com/Contact-1 Via Casoro 2, 6918 Lugano - Figino+41 77 262 69 55 &nbsp;stviolins@gmail.com ︎&nbsp;
