His parents, who were farm labourers, moved to Noceto in 1930. There Renato attended the elementary school and started to help his parents in their work. From his infancy he demonstrated a marked talent for drawing, which was frustrated due to the lack of encouragement from the environment.However even stronger in him was his passion for music, and this expressed itself in the desire to play the violin, an instrument which had struck his sensitivity during a public concert in the village square. At the early age of 15, having had the opportunity of examining a mandolin, Scrollavezza decided to build one. But it was always the violin (or rather the intense recollection of that day in the square and those heart-aching notes) which filled the boy&#8217;s dreams. And when finally a friend manages to purchase the longed-for instrument, Renato (then 17) throws himself into the task of making one. Once more alone, with no help other than his great passion.<\/p>\n<p>The number of instruments built during the course of these years is noteworthy: 220 violins, 60 violas, 39 cellos, 3 basses, 2 violas d&#8217;amore, a viella, a lute, a gamba, a pochette and a hundred or so classical guitars. The maturity of workmanship attained procures him teaching responsibilities as well. In fact in 1975 he is teacher of violin-making at the <b>A. Boito Conservatory in Parma<\/b> and from 1979 &#8217;till 1983 he lectures at the <b>Milan School of Violin-Making<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>In 1980 he is invited as guest of honour to the 7th International Expo in Japan, representing Italian violin-making. That same year however, there is an important turning point in Scrollavezza&#8217;s career: the Maestro decides not to sell his instruments anymore, although pressed with many requests. He intends to dedicate all his energy to pure research for his own personal satisfaction, with the aim of reaching that balance between form and sound which represents the only real secret of stringed instruments. In this sense the construction of a complete orchestra is to be understood &#8211; an extremely rare example in the history of violin-making.\u00a0 This is a sample of his violins.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><code><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_31872\"  width=\"1170\" height=\"878\"  data-origwidth=\"1170\" data-origheight=\"878\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NE8CaRCOpn8?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/code><\/p>\n<h3>Renato&#8217;s Daughter and husband also follow his tradition in Violin Making, here is a sample &#8211; GREAT!<\/h3>\n<p><code><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_39044\"  width=\"1170\" height=\"658\"  data-origwidth=\"1170\" data-origheight=\"658\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GlKJRWevwA8?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/code><\/p>\n<h3>Watch the live demo in a violin shop in Australia<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ii gt\"><code><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_69218\"  width=\"1170\" height=\"658\"  data-origwidth=\"1170\" data-origheight=\"658\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mVSVrprf2so?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/code><\/div>\n<div class=\"ii gt\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ii gt\"><a href=\"http:\/\/davidwilliamsviolinist.info\/violins\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/wooddivider.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-484\" src=\"http:\/\/davidwilliamsviolinist.info\/violins\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/wooddivider.jpg\" alt=\"wooddivider\" width=\"500\" height=\"19\" srcset=\"http:\/\/davidwilliamsviolinist.info\/violins\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/wooddivider.jpg 500w, http:\/\/davidwilliamsviolinist.info\/violins\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/wooddivider-300x11.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3>Fine Violins and Bows &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.martinswanviolins.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Martin Swan Violins<\/a><\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"strapline\">Browse at your leisure in our online violin shop<\/h4>\n<p>Finding a great sounding violin at a fair price is no easy matter, and choosing the right violin dealer is almost as hard as choosing the right violin.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your budget, we can help.
