After focusing on repair and restoration, Paris went on the win a fellowship from the Winston Churchill Trust for her work which allowed her to travel to Florence to work alongside a group of remarkable luthiers and study the Tuscan style and history of violin making with Maestro Francesco Algieri. Her great love of baroque music and history led her to retrain and specialise in Baroque builds with Maestro Fabio Chiari, and she now focuses almost exclusively on the Baroque. Paris makes instruments 'from models' and likes to use her intuition and personal taste guide her while making and varnishing. Paris has exhibited all over the world and is proud to have her instruments played by remarkable professionals and work in collaboration with award winning artists such as Leonardo Frigo, Federico Guglielmo and Thorgy Thor. She is also a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, The Churchill Trust and a recognised artisan of Homer Faber. From the summer of 2021 she now offers training and masterclasses to promising female indentifying luthiers and will shortly begin her new teaching position at Scuola di Liuteria Toscana Fernando Ferroni. She regularly contributes to publications such as The Strad and works to promote lutherie to a wider field using social media and workshops for schools. The violin “Il Veneziano” she created with hand desinged gondalo inspired soundholes was accepted into the Museo della Musica in Venice making her the only living luthier with an instrument in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paris Andrew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40136947367998,"sku":"PABVN1","price":6995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2225\/8403\/files\/PABVN101WEB.jpg?v=1709896444"},{"product_id":"5-course-medieval-lute-by-marco-golinelli","title":"5 Course Medieval Lute after de Zwolle by Marco Golinelli","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UdoPZktT608?si=umnu9C49VOWbf3El\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Course Medieval Lute by Marco Golinelli, including hard case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel:                   de Zwolle\u003cbr\u003eVibrating length:  520 mm\u003cbr\u003eShell:                     9 ribs, Italian cypress\u003cbr\u003eSoundboard:         Fiemme Valley spruce\u003cbr\u003eRosette:                 Own model\u003cbr\u003eBridge:                   Pearwood, Italian walnut top\u003cbr\u003eNeck:                     Italian cypress\u003cbr\u003ePegbox:                 Italian cypress\u003cbr\u003ePegs:                     Boxwood\u003cbr\u003eNut:                       Natural bone\u003cbr\u003eVarnish:                Oil based\u003cbr\u003eStrings:                 Pyramid\u003cbr\u003eHard case:            RCH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarco Golinelli attended City Lutherie School in Milan studying the construction of musical instruments with master luthiers Tiziano Rizzi and Lorenzo Lippi and musical instruments restoration with master luthier Gabriele Negri where he specialized in building instruments of the lute family as well as early guitars and mandolins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2001 he started working together with Stefano Zanderighi, a project that would eventually led to the birth of the Liuteria d’Insieme workshop in 2003.
