5.00Our tour guide was very helpful in arranging the tour. Most of the guidance at the workshop came from the staff there, although our guide was important in translating. As a violinist, I felt as though this was a pilgrimage to a sacred site, and even though I've been playing for over 60 years I now have a much better understanding of how violins are made.
