Atelier Martinier, luthiers of the Quartet
Anne-Flore and Thibaut Martinier are "Luthiers du Quatuor" at La Roche-sur-Foron, and specialize in the restoration and tuning of ancient string instruments: violins, violas and cellos. As part of the Heritage Days, they are keen to present their work to you, which is precisely in line with the theme of "Sustainable Heritage". In their hands lies a know-how that is transmitted from Italy and the birth of the first forms of violins during the seventeenth century. This ancient craft has certainly evolved, but its form has remained very traditional and the instruments thus travel over the centuries, since Amati or Stradivari in the respect of the techniques and materials of the time. A presentation of the craft of luthier will be proposed to you and these exceptional craftsmen will answer all your questions with great pleasure!
