Artida Violins, new Carbon Bows to be exhibited at Cremona Mondomusica 2013

Yamaha has a long history of making fine musical instruments which began in 1887. Since then, the company has developed its understanding of musical instrument craftsmanship, knowledge of materials and manufacturing techniques and today has some of the worlds most talented and highly trained, specialised craftsmen.

The Artida violin epitomises the high standard of craftsmanship that is achieved and is the perfect example of how an in-depth understanding of materials can help to create an instrument of superior quality.

Artida represents what can be created in the hands of highly skilled craftsman and these violins are brought to life by individually crafting each instrument by hand. The materials used have been selected to be of the highest quality whilst benefitting from cutting edge technology.

With over 125 years of dedication to studying the intricacies of wood, the unique wood conditioning process used on Artida violins enhances the materials to feel like that of a fine instrument that has matured over many years.

The perfect complement for Artida is the new YBN-100 carbon bow series. These state-of-the art bows have the appearance of wood but with the consistency and longevity that you would expect from carbon fibre.

With a range of balances and weights to choose from, the newly developed carbon bow making technique of the YBN-100 offers the same performance capabilities as wood. This means that players benefit from the range of tonal possibilities and expression that one would normally only expect from high-grade Pernambuoco.

Using technology to develop traditional instruments is not new to Yamaha and at Cremona Mondomusica, Yamaha will of course be displaying its innovative Silent Strings range.

These instruments open up a whole world of musical opportunities for string players and what makes Yamaha’s so special is its heritage as a leader in both traditional and modern instrument making.

Yamaha have years of experience developing and combining technology and craftsmanship that no other manufacturer can match. The company’s in depth knowledge of electronics along with acoustics means that Yamaha’s Silent Strings are not only made to the highest standards, but have been developed to make the best possible sound.

Yamaha’s Silent Strings range opens new sound worlds to string players and gives them the ultimate musical freedom to find their own sound. Perfect for practice and for stage performance, these instruments reflect Yamaha’s passion for encouraging music making letting you explore new and different genres of music and inspiring your artistic flair.

Cremona Mondomusica is a fantastic opportunity to try all of these fantastic instruments for yourself, so make sure you come and say ‘hi’ at the Yamaha stand.
