Giorgio Grisales Violin - Cremona 2022

Product Type: Violins

Giorgio Grisales violin handmade in Cremona in 2022.

Giorgio Grisales is a modern master with 40 years of experience.

In 1988 Grisales graduated at the “International School of Violinmaking” in Cremona, and following this attended a course organized by the “Regione Lombardia" where he received a diploma in bowmaking. His professional training was completed when he graduated at the “Civic School of Violinmaking” in Milan for musical instrument restoration.

Grisales then opened his own workshop in Cremona where he has produced instruments of fine quality for 30 years. Grisales’ instruments are now well-known and appreciated all over the world. Grisales not only makes fine violins, he also crafts violas, cellos and doublebasses, always drawing inspiration from the great Italian masters of the past such as Ferdinando Garimberti, Giuseppe Ornati and the old “Cremonese School” (Stradivari, Amati and Guarneri del Gesù).

Highlighting his broad range of skills, at the XI International Violinmaking Triennale Contest “A. Stradivari”, Giorgio Grisales was awarded with the silver medal in the doublebass section.
