Achieving the Right SoundHow did Stradavari, Guaneri, da Salò and Amati achieve their superior sound? It was the question that Roelof Weertman sought to answer.After retiring from a successful career as an engineer, Roelof Weertman was able to turn to his long-time interest in violin making into a full-time pursuit. Very few engineers become violin makers. Most violin makers are not engineers, and some are not musicians. Roelof Weertman was a rare breed; he was an engineer, a musician and a luthier.He saw that the application of his engineering knowledge and understanding of hyperbolic and parabolic arches could be applied to the structure of the stringed instrument to produce a high quality sound.
