Fernand Schryer
Fernand Schryer learned violin making from his grandfather. Making his living
as a fisherman, he could not find the time to engage in instrument making
until he was in his 40s. But, since his retirement, he has devoted himself
full time to the art. To date, he has made 300 violins. Schryer prefers to
use local wood, which he cuts himself and which he dries for years before
using.
