Thomas Fawick, Cleveland, Ohio, 1957. Thomas Fawick was a musician, successful industrialist, and inventor, born in 1889. Passionate about music, he owned the famous 'Wilhelmj' Stradivarius violin of 1725, named after the great German virtuoso who previously owned it.
Fawick experimented extensively with violin making, using his Stradivarius as a model, and came up with a plan to produce new violins using carefully chosen treated wood. The parts were made in the shop of Paul Hilaire in Paris, and sent to workers in Cleveland, Ohio, where they were varnished and set up.
If you compare the Fawick instruments with the ones from the shop of Hilaire, you can see the same careful workmanship.
