Simon József Master Luthier was born in may 26th 1945 in Transilvania,in a village wich is situated in the Harghita Moutains in the Carpathians. His father (Sándor) was a sculptor and a woodman, therefore as a child he knew the forest, loving and learning all the secrets of the wood. In the family home there was an exqusite sculpture workshop; there he learned the woodwork craft from his father, making with much patience violins, zither and cembalo. Therefore József became fond of making his first violin at Csatószeg.
In our workshop we are manufacturing responsive musical instruments with full ton and qualities for orchestral or solo work. Very choicest, seasoned, naturally dried Spruce and beautifully figured Maple woods are used. Made by hand each Jonaco instrument is a unique artistic creation. every violin, viola and cello maintains the highest standards of craftmanship, combined with deeply satisfying complexity of tone.
