Rodger was invited by the Italian Trade Commission to attend the Mondo Musica International Exhibition of Handcrafted Instruments in Cremona, Italy as part of the American Delegation. This is the largest violin trade show in the world. Cremona was the birthplace of Stradavari and today is the home of over one hundred violin shops as well as one of the finest violins schools in the world. Rodger and Eunice had a wonderful time taking in the show and the city. Mondo Musica was a time of building relationships with makers from Italy. We are currently beginning to carry modern Italian instruments in our shop. Take a look at our web store for look at some of these fabulous instruments.
