One month in May 2002 my pupil Dimitry Dubowskich from Germany studied of violin making in Odessa. He had skill work with wood thas why his study term was quick. For one mounth of his intense work and study Dimitry has made "a white violin" and took it in Germany. He took  a lot of curves and patterns for making, digital photos and video of all stages of making, practical  knowledge about technique of varnish and polish. Dimitry has got a document about studing in Odessa. So, a capable pupil proved that for such a short time it is possible to learn of all that necessary for making a violin. It is known that studying is more longer, the historical and theoretical studying is individual for every one. All the people  who have serious wishes for studying of violin making can write to Vladislav Baginsky.
