Mr. Musafia's note: Always a favorite with musicians in the Exhibition, her instruments invariably receive "oohs" and "aahs" during the formal tonal comparisons that some exhibitors provide.  Her small production, however, makes her instruments hard to find -- and that much more special when you do find them!

Curriculum Vitae: Born in Cremona, constructs violins, violas and violoncellos following the ancient tradition of Cremonese violinmaking learned through long years of study with Maestro Francesco Bissolotti. In time she developed her own personal style in instruments that are appreciated by musicians for their acoustic qualities. Acoustic adjustments and repairs. (C.V. provided by the maker).
