It’s not for those who don’t have the will to learn.
And it’s not for those who don’t believe we can make this world a better place by spreading Art and Beauty everywhere!
If I told you that in Spirit Varnish course I have condensed all my experience that thanks to this course you will be able to save dozens and dozens of hours of unnecessary work, how much can this be worth?
You know, especially in the last two years I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on training and coaching, because I have realized that there is no better investment than the one you make on yourself.
I have also experienced firsthand how much a course, lecture or workshop can really save me time.
And believe me when I tell you that there is no comparison: time is worth a thousand times more than money!

I was born in a family of violin makers, so I had the privilege to start very early making violins.
I learned from my father Paolo Vettori, who learned from his father Dario I Vettori.
I’m lucky to keep the legacy of more than 90 years of violinmaking Italian Classic Tradition.
During my youth, I didn’t go to a classic “Violin making school”.
I learned in the most traditional way: my father and my grandfather handed down the knowledge to me.
I haven’t had anyone who told me “this can’t be done”, so I could try and experiment freely whatever I wanted.
That’s how I found the way that works, my way.
And I always encourage my Star Pupils to find their own way.
Thanks to my hard work I’ve received sincere compliments from some the most valuable luthiers around the world.
I was mentioned in Strad Magazine as well.
Now I can say it with confidence: you can be a luthier even without having attended a school.
Indeed, perhaps it reflects more the true tradition of craftsmanship handed down from father to son.

You know, in the violin making industry, old masters tend to be very jealous of their knowledge and experience.
As if sharing their knowledge somehow would ruin and destroy all their career.
99,9% of them think like: “…if you’re good at something, keep it secret!”.
I am different.
I feel deep joy and fulfillment in sharing my knowledge and expertise with others.
I think this enriches everyone, both the teacher and the pupils.
⭐️ What you give will be yours forever ⭐️
This is my motto.
