“With a new instrument, the musician can actually shape the sound in the first years, making it an integral part in their way of communicating music,” explains Norwegian Violin maker Jacob von der Lippe (instagram/jacobvdlippe). “Instead of doing repairs, I focused on making new right from the start.” For Jacob, who took up cello at age eight, music has been a lifelong pursuit. It was a cello he built when he was 17, however, that ignited his passion. “From then on, I was hooked.” Jacob dedicated five years to studying the craft in Cremona, Italy—the violin’s birthplace—before returning to Oslo to open his shop. Fourteen years and nearly sixty instruments later, Jacob’s creations have found their way into the hands of musicians around the globe.
