De Mori Federico
Born in a family of carpenters in Montelimar, France, F. Noharet de Mori at the age of thirteen showed a strong passion for constructing musical instruments, teaching himself how to make dulcimers and guitars. The direction of his career in violin construction began with the discovery of an old violin in an open-air market.
In 1977 he graduated from Lycée Technique Les Catalins High School in Montélimar.
In 1978 he studied in the International Professional Insitute of String-Instrument and Wood Artisans (I.P.I.A.L.L.) in Cremona, graduating in 1982 under the guidance of the master Francesco Bissolotti.
He settled in Parma where he immersed himself in an intense process of research and analysis of the minute criteria involved in each and every detail of the step-by-step violin construction process, from its initial design to its final varnishing-focussing especially on the effects change has on the acoustics of the instrument. From 1985 to 1990 he participated in the first series of the Parisian Musicora Exhibitions. His instruments during this period showed a great variety of style and interpretative freedom. The knowledge he acquired from all these activities led him to a totally personal method of design and construction, both rational and coherent.
He entirely designs his instruments calculating every minute detail based on a principle of proportional excellence. He uses a varnish with a propolis and rubia tinctorum root oil base. In September 2001, at the Baveno Competition in Italy, he received the highest score in the section for violin acoustics. The acoustic quality of his instruments has received personal praise from outstanding soloists in Italy, France, Austria, Russia, the United States and Japan.
2001 also saw the publication of his book The Magic Sound of the Forest, imaginative photographic account of his work. In this sequence of images and poetic phrases he has expressed, in both an allegorical and a didactic mode, the creation of his violins. But above all, this publication was his attempt to share the emotions immersed in the creative process involved in this amazing instrument construction.
De Mori Federico
出生於法國Montelimar的木工家庭，在13歲時就表現出製作樂器的熱情，開始自己摸索如何製作楊琴和吉他，一次在露天市場見到提琴樂器後，便開始了他從事提琴製作的生涯。
1997從Lycée Technique Les Catalins High School畢業。
1978-1982進入克里蒙納International Professional Insitute of String-Instrument and Wood Artisans，在學時跟隨Francesco Bissolotti學習提琴的製作。其後，他來到Parma並投入在研究及分析提琴的製作過程，從提琴最初的設計到最後的上漆，尤其是這些過程對聲響的影響。
1985-1990他參加了第一系列的Parisian Musicora展覽，其樂器表現出多樣化的風格何不同的闡述方式，並廣受好評。
為了追求完美的比例，De Mori Federico在設計提琴時，所有細節都經過精密的計算，他的漆料是採用蜂蠟和rubia tinctorum root oil為主要成分。
2001年9月，在義大利舉辦的Baveno Competition中，他的作品提琴的音色方面獲得了最高的分數，其提琴的音色獲得國際上許多演奏者的讚賞(Italy, France, Austria, Russia, the United States and Japan)。
2001時De Mori Federico出版了The Magic Sound of the Forest一書，透過書中富想像空間的圖片及充滿詩意的文句，表達出其作品的創造力，但，這本書最主要的還是要跟讀者分享他創作提琴時的感情。 |
