A Hungarian Violin by Roberto Andreas Bachias, 2012
A violin after Pietro Guarnerius, crafted by Andreas Roberto Bachias in Hungary, 2012. The pattern features generous arching, lending the soundbox more resonating airspace and ultimately resulting in a richly colorful, highly lyrical sound, with a punchy sort of brilliance in response to sharp attacks. Demonstrating clean, aesthetic work, albeit with a softer varnish which has already become somewhat distressed. Available for trial and freshly setup with a French Aubert bridge, high quality rosewood fittings with unstained boxwood accents, and a set of Spirocore strings with an Oliv gold E.
Romanian-Hungarian luthier, Andreas Roberto Bachias was born on the 28th of September 1980 in Szaszregen, Romania. He became acquainted with instrument making at a very early age because his mother worked at an instrument factory in town, and started vocational studies after finishing elementary school. After a year, he became his mother’s student and assistant at the factory. He passed his vocational exam as a violin maker in 1998 and worked in another factory in Vivarius for three years before moving to Hungary in 2002. He worked in several shops, building instruments, furniture, and performing restorations before ultimately enrolling in the violin making school at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, from which he graduated in 2007. Today, he works in Budapest, alongside and with his former professor, the youngest member of the the Konya family, Lajos Konya JR.
