About
Bertrand Bellin, born in south of France 1975, studied violin making at Newark and Scherwood College, England.
After a collaboration of 9 years with Roger Hargrave, and winning international awards, he is now based in Germany near Strasbourg were he continiues focusing on the making of detailed replicas and modern interpretations of classical Italien instruments, both in modern and baroque set-ups.
Solists, chamber players and Orchestra musicians throughout the word play on his instruments.
"Over the yeras, I devoted my time exclusively to making. It gave me the opportunity to copy a wide variety of violins, violas, and cellos from witch I selected the most successful models in order to offer a rich palette of tone qualities. Nevertheless I am open to the alwas exiting experience to make a detailed replica of a specific instrument of your choice.
I pay a special attention to deliver a constant quality of the highest standar. The whole making process is caried intierely by myself using exclusively the very best materials. Therefore, only a very limited number of instruments can be made each year.
Fell free to contact me for further details on present waiting time for commissions and for any other questions you may have".
"During the making process, your wishes upon set-up, size and aesthetic aspects will be acknowleged into the finest details, in order to meet your individual technical needs and tast, and to make sure that every single instrument becomes a reliable tool, source of pleasure and inspiration"
