Leo Goujard Spiga

France

Leo Goujard Spiga discovered the art of violin making when he visited a luthier’s workshop in Spain at the age of 16. He devoted all of his time from that point on to the violin and moved to Cremona, where he trained at the Antonio Stradivari international school.

Having learned the fundamental principles of Italian violinmaking, he continued his training with recognized masters all around Europe. For eight years he has worked alongside Robert Brewer Young, in France, making instruments that are currently played by established professionals and soloists.

Leo Goujard has a particular affinity for the Neapolitan school, and regularly works in Italy, in the living tradition of the Gagliano family, using the finest examples of their work as a point of departure for his own. The grace, individuality and power of this southern Italian tradition can be seen and heard in the violins, violas and cellos he creates with passion in his workshop in the French Pyrenees and Italy.

This is a very impressive violin by a maker we recently met and whose work is of very high quality. Leo was the assistant of the master violin maker Robert Brewer Young for a long time where he honed his craft and got much of his inspiration. He now creates instruments using a personal model, which reflects the thought he has put into each of his creations. This violin is powerful and bright. Its character shines from the very first note one plays on it. It has remarkable resonance and the overtones create depth and richness. Each note is alive and the player will benefit greatly from its ease of playing and natural projection.
