Fiddle Talks

Alberto Giordano is back with more talk about the wonderful world of violin making, but he also has a very unexpected trick up his sleeve. One that comes as a huge surprise to Peter and Frederik. Listen in and hear what it is!

How do you transport the violin of Niccolo Paganini? We can tell you that putting it in any old case won't do. And how about restoring it? Luckily we have the personal doctor of Il Cannone, the violin of Paganini on the show to answer all the questions.

It’s been a while but we are back with a vengeance! This time we chat about the things we’ve done since the last episode and we get around both some nice and nerdy subjects and some silliness. We also launch our very first quiz which is aimed at Peter. Listen in and see how it goes!

Another live episode in front of a wonderful audience from Voksenåsen Summer Academy 2025. Our guests, Isabelle van Keulen and Malin Broman, are two absolute powerhouses in both the violin and viola world. They have received medals from kings, have been soloists with the worlds most renowned symphony orchestras, have organized festivals, recorded numerous albums and much more. But they are also lovely to talk to and we proud to have them. A lot of interesting subjects are turned over, but most of all it’s just great to listen to such wonderful personalities that have had incredible lives in music.

Chann Cornilleau works with the amazing Florian Leonhard Fine Violins in London, and she is an expert in restoring violins. She knows everything about the physics of an instrument and she works her magic in getting the exact sound a musician looks for. During this episode she looks over Frederik's violin which is a Montagnana. Has he been taking well care of the instrument? Listen and everything will be uncovered!
