ALEJANDRO PUIG VIOLINS

Along the way I have made furniture, cabinetry, built houses , workshops, chicken coops, even household utensils. In the early 1990's I started working as an apprentice to a violin restorer named Daniel Hendricks and we later became partners, along with Lee Kupersmith, in a restoration business called Seraphin Strings. We worked on everything from good factory instruments to old Italian beauties. It turned out to be a world class introduction to violin making, both how to do it and how not to do it, because we had to fix everything. I learned enough in those years to start building new instruments and fell in love with the process and rhythm of it. I have received two awards from the Violin Society of America, one for cello tone (2006) and one for violin workmanship (2010). Currently I divide my time between making new instruments and restoring old ones for private customers and other shops. These two surprisingly different processes continue to inform one another...
