Ada Quaranta

Music has played an integral part in my life since childhood when, aged ten, I began violin studies. My encounter with the craft of violin making was a revelation: I discovered something that synthesized with harmony my passion for the sciences and the arts.
After my training in Cremona I specialized in high restoration with J. F. Schmitt in Lyon and Geigenbau Machold in Bremen and subsequently with Roger G. Hargrave.
In 2002 I opened my atelier in Italy and dedicated myself to the art of making modern and baroque instruments of the highest aesthetic and acoustic quality which are today known and played by many leading musicians the World over.
My instruments are the fruits of a marriage between the traditional methods of the finest Classical Italian Violin Makers especially from Cremona and Brescia and the most recent developments in acoustics, historical researches and new technologies.
New York, London, Berlin, Paris, Bruxelles and Cremona are some of the Exhibitions hosting my instruments on a regular basis.
