Buddhist Violin

This violin was made as a gift for the Kunpen Lama Ganchen Buddhist centre in Milan. The body is made from two pieces of spruce from Val di Fiemme and the back, sides, neck and scroll are crafted from Balkan maple. The bottom of the instrument is inlaid with the image of an infinite knot, an important and recurring symbol in Buddhist culture.
