Our tour was led by Nicholas, the director of the school. From describing the wood, the types of finish, why they glue two pieces of wood together to form the top, the type of glue that is used, and how the violin is constructed — the tour was immensely interesting. My mother and I learned a tremendous amount in a short time and found a new and profound appreciation for the art of violin making.

One of a kind experience
This is a rare inside look at one of the finest violin making schools in the world. It is well worth taking this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and very accommodating.

Wonderful Way to Learn an Important Aspect of Cremona
Elena provided a very informative explanation of the process of violin making by hand. We also were able to tour the school and see some of the students working on their instruments. It was a wonderful introduction to Cremona!

A Valuable and Rich Experience
Giovanni, the principal of the school, provided an extensive tour of the renaissance building, art works housed in the school. He taught us about the history and practice of string and bow making......very detailed. I can highly recommend this experience.
Also Cremona is a beautiful town with great shopping and eating.

For Love of Violins
Wonderful presentation of the development of the modern violin, and the violin maker's art. What a treat to walk among instruments bearing the names of Stradivarius, Guarnari, and more. Very beautifully done.

Academia Cremonensis
If you are into classical music and violin family instruments, then this is a wonderful visit. The tour is very informative and It really complements the Stradivari Museo del violino which is just around the corner.

Cremona Academy
The tour lasts 1 hour, with certainly many very interesting explanations in English or Italian only.
Unfortunately we only speak French!
We visited the workshops, and saw the students working.
We find the fare excessive, we learned more by going to the violin museum.
