Curious about what it takes to build a violin from scratch? The team at Kryptonite Production recently stopped by Deciso to talk with our founder, Tan Chin Seng.
In this interview, Tan breaks down the reality of violin making in Malaysia. He explains why becoming a luthier requires more than just a love for playing the instrument—it demands extreme patience, an understanding of acoustics, and a real dedication to woodworking.
He also touches on the common issues we see with violins in our climate, like dropping necks, and explains the real difference between a standard factory violin and a custom-crafted instrument that carries the creator’s soul.
Watch the full interview below to hear his thoughts on the craft and why every violin has its own unique personality.
