Michali’s work is mainly focused on creating and restoring the classical quartets and their bows: Violins, Violas, Cellos and Double Basses.

Michalis has studiedthe art of violin making dating back to Antonio Stradivarius at theprestigious Cremona international Violin Making School. This is where Michalis researched, honed his craft and embarked on the journey to find his style of handcrafted fine violins.

Michali’s instruments are crafted to the very specific measurements/style of his predecessors, being personally able to analyze in great detail the instruments that they made themselves. Therefore they are in keeping with the plethora of tradition of violin making from its very roots of master violin makers in Cremona, Italy.

The instruments Michalis makes are influenced by the world renowned makers Stradivarius, Guarneri and Amati of which the Cremona international Violin Making School brings its experience and ancient secrets from, more recently Michali’s instruments are styled, crafted and influenced by the work of the great Masters V. Bissolotti and T. Matsushita, of whom Michalis during his studies had the honor to be mentored.

All mentors, teachers and maestro’s researched and studied in great detail the historic creation of violins from the region of Cremona, handling, dealing with and passing on their knowledge and understanding of the original, now antique instruments created by the great maestros of violin making. This information has been passed down through the generations, each ancestor of making/luthier passing to the next their insights and understandings until the school was founded, thus Michalis now a part of this background and family tree of Cremona violin makers, brings and offers you his creations and style of violins, passed down through the very same understandings once taught and passed on by the first great names of violin makers/luthiers.

Michalis applies varnish with traditional methods to
his instruments, giving his instruments their beautiful colourings,
with chromatic variations from orange to red.

For the construction of bows and restorations, he follows
the style of the French bow-making tradition, combining the functionality that derives from the school of Maestro Giovanni Lucchi, with the French methods Michalis has researched and understood.
