About me
The establishment of DİNÇAY GÜLENÇ & M.A.D Fine Violins dates back twenty-four years. After my conservatory education in Turkey. I entered to the International Violin Making School , I.P.I.A.L.L. Cremona, Italy and graduated in 2008. Here, I increased my technique and expertise by learning instrument making and restoration with many Maestros, Massimo Negroni, Claudio Amighetti, Alessandro Voltini, Vanna Zambelli, Emilio Slaviero, Fabio Volta, Giorgio Scolari, Andrea Ortona. I worked mainly in the fields of string instrument construction, varnishing techniques, restoration, bow restoration and maintenance. With nearly ten years of experience, I opened my own workshop in Cremona Piazza Roma in 2010. I returned to Turkey in 2012 and started working with professional state orchestras. Since 2015, I have been continuing with the new making and restoration of string instruments, which is my area of expertise, in my own private workshop in Istanbul.
