Theo Marks Transcript

It's really interesting to hear about Theo Marks' unique upbringing in a family of musicians, and his personal journey to become a violin-family maker. Theo Marks: “ think if you just go through once and see the process from finish to end, you'll learn so much about how your violin functions. I mean, I can imagine that I barely was aware that I had a sound post in my cello, as a teenager, and that the fingerboard might need - that the arching of my cello was affecting its tone at the f-holes. You can so easily focus just on the technical aspects of playing. And I find now as a cellist I'm really enriched as a musician being more aware of how that wood is vibrating and what I'm hearing and how what I can do to affect that and how much is coming from the instrument itself.”
