Title:	Wim Raymaekers - http://home.scarlet.be/~pin19867/eng.html
Description:	Working as a professional violinmaker since 1995, you can find me in my quiet, well equipped workshop near the station of the old university city of Louvain. My background in Art History at the University, my activities as a violinist and my training as a luthier are to me like a firm ground to stand on. They made me look and listen to stringed instruments with growing insight and interest.

Sergio Peresson

Sergio Peresson
Sergio Peresson (1913-1991) was an Italian-born violin maker who is considered one of the most phenomenal makers of the 20th century. Born in 1913 in Udine, Italy, Sergio made his first violin in 1943 before moving to Caracas, Venezuela, in 1947. There he primarily did repair work for the Venezuelan Symphony Orchestra and had a modest production of new instruments. He moved to Philadelphia in 1963 and was employed by William Moennig and Son.
