Abstract: The article focuses on Otto Schunemann, an idealistic luthier in 19th-century Germany, who sought to elevate violin craftsmanship inspired by Cremonese masters. Topics discussed include Schunemann's critique of stagnant violin making, his innovative approach to education in lutherie, and his pursuit of excellence recognized by prominent makers like Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume.
