Rufino violins, violas and violoncellos are contemporary masterpieces of tonal and
visual art that combine classic Italian design, the finest materials, and superb
craftsmanship. Tonal integrity and artistic value that will last lifetimes are assured by the maker's exclusive use of traditional methods and painstaking attention to detail. The sublime sound of these instruments is colorful, rich, and lively and is supported by a focused resonant strength of tone. Rufino instruments are distinguished by a sensitivity and responsiveness that will let you meet every musical challenge with delight. Charles Rufino, a member of the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers, and the Entente Internationale des Maitre Luthiers et Archetiers d' Art, studied violin making and restoration with some of the world's finest masters. |
