The Sweet Sound of Malaysian Craftsmanship

Video by Free Malaysia Today

Free Malaysia Today stopped by to interview Chang Seongje after she brought home a gold medal from the International Violin Making Competition in Italy.

The video walks through her exact process—from selecting European maple and spruce to the intense physical work of carving the wood. She spent six months building her winning viola, “Laksa,” right here under the guidance of Tan Chin Seng.

We are incredibly proud of her. Watch the FMT interview to see her in action.
