Take a Bow
Peter Day visits Cremona in northern Italy to see how a centuries-old centre of violin making can survive in a fast-changing musical world.
Thanks to great craftsmen such as the Amati family and Antonio Stradivari, the city of Cremona in northern Italy has been a global centre of violins for five centuries. Peter Day finds out how tradition, marketing and years of training enable Cremonese instrument makers to survive in a fast changing musical world.
Producer: Caroline Bayley.
