DANIEL, MARTIN & PABLO KARINKANTA

The art of building violins stood out in the XVII century and the beginning of the XVIII, in the shops of the Italians Antonio Stradivari, and Giuseppe Guarneri, both of Cremona, and of the Austrian Jacob Stainer. During the XIX century the virtuous traveled all over Europe. Among them they are the Italian Giovanni Viotti and Niccoló Paganini, the Germans Louis Spohr and Joseph Joachim, the Spanish Pablo of Sarasate and the Belgian Henri Vieuxtemps and Eugéne Ysaÿe. In the XX century the violin has reached new artistic and technical achievements with maestros like Isaac Stern, Yehudi Menuhin, Fritz Kreisler, Jasha Heifetz, Mischa Elman, and David Oistrakh.
