Beautiful craftsmanship. Glad to see a woman making an instrument

I could watch this one-thousand times and still enjoy it.

I don’t play the violin, I don’t make violins but can appreciate the impeccable craftsmanship involved in making one. What a work of art and fascinating to watch!

[@Onionbaron]

Amazingly skilled! And the sound of sharp tools!...

Ich bin Tischler in und habe einige Vollholzmöbel gebaut. Meist Esche, Braunkern Esche, Pflaume und Kirschholz.

It’s like watching a musical performance in itself. Thanks for all the sounds! PS love when your breathing becomes part of it!

This should get a million views!

I hate to say this but when I think of luthiers I see men in this job. This ladies skill set is off the charts! I am in such awe. My compliments to her! I wonder how long it took her to make this instrument?

i don´t know if i should comment in german or English, but i think it looks quite easy when others build violas or violins, but i made a violin top in my internship. the top was finished in 2 weeks of hard work and i didn´t even start to make the f holes, because our 2 weeks were less then we needed, since then i paid much respect to everyone who builds violas and violins.

I've watch a lot of stringed instruments being made, and I've sorta thought, I could do that, but I watch this, and I'm like, there is no way.... such incredible precision, such beautiful shapes, and appearing to be essentially eye balling parts of it. I agree with Pickerhat, Fantastische Handwerkskunt!

[@smoothjazz6915]

Stunning...a real treat to watch and admire.

[@scoot45123]

That's beautiful!!!

[@deepVAroots]

Amazing! What attention to detail too!

[@thepickerhat6996]

[@nonatomoura7309]

Parabéns para esse grande trabalho essa arte maravilhosa e bom trabalho que vocês faz ó Parabéns para vocês aí Tenha uma ótima noite

[@unitedkhmerartists]

My first thought: no, no, no way, a man can't be skilled like this luthier, not knowing Ulrike is a female name, it has to be a woman, yup, It's a woman indeed. Oh my God, I rarely make comment on KZbin, but this is such a display of craftmanship, beauty, precision... centuries of European skills passed down to her, and of course her natural talent!!!!

Pure perfectie geduldig en bekwaamheid

[@marcelocavanna8303]

Una grande lavoratrice!!!
