Daniel
Karinkanta:
Born
in 1951, is the third generation and in some senses the most successful
one. He received from their father the formation in the art of building
violins, and he has acquired more experience.
He
began his craft as violinmaker with the handmade construction of fine
accessories for string instruments: pegs and tailpieces of the Napoleonic
style that J.B. Vuillaume made for the "messiah" (the messiah").
At the same time he was interested in the construction of electric guitars,
and later he took to building string instruments, using in general Guarneri
del Gesú and Stradivarius designs.
At present his prestige has gone beyond Argentina. The excellent quality
of his copies makes his instruments appreciated by professional performers,
amateurs, Argentinean and foreign collectors. His reputation has gone
a long way, has got such a stage that artists as Donald Weilerstein of
the string quartet of Cleveland and Uto Ughi play instruments built by
Daniel. So far Daniel has built more than 60 violins, 8 violas and 2 violoncellos.
