From Cello Student to Award-Winning Luthier

Video by TEDx Talks

Did you know the first female Malaysian violin maker to win gold in Italy doesn’t even play the violin?

Song Jie Chang recently took the TEDx stage to share her journey. She talked about naming her award-winning viola “Laksa,” learning the craft right here in our Bandar Sri Damansara workshop under Tan Chin Seng, and what it really takes to build an instrument by hand.

It’s a great talk about patience, art, and proving that Malaysian craftsmanship can compete on the world stage.
