About the Maker
Jan Bartos is a contemporary Polish luthier who now lives and works in France. After graduating with a degree in violin making from the I.J. Paderewski Academy of Music in PoznaÅ, Bartos worked as the head of Eric Blotās atelier in Cremona for a decade. While at Blotās shop, Bartos deeply studied the luthiers who defined Cremona as the historical heart of violin making: Stradivari, Guarneri, Amati, and others. Bartos is known for his remarkable copies of Stradivari and Guarneri violins (like this one). In 2007, Bartos opened his own workshop in the Marias District of Paris with the bow maker Paul Sadka. Over his decades of work, Bartos has earned awards from the Violin Society of America, including a Silver Medal for Violin Tone. Bartos has also seen success in his violas and cellos, with Violoncelle en Seine prizes in tone and instrument making and the International Viola Competition in Paris.
