We cover the lives of violin makers, their best parts and worst parts, yesterday and today. Historical stories, interviews with experts and makers in the field. Omobono Stradivari was the least liked son of his father, Antonio, he was remembered in Antonio's will as a screw up. He is our north star. We are all part of this. We all belong exactly here.

I came to the podcast with high expectations as a violinist having been referred from the Violin Chronicles. But I can no longer sit through just aimless banter with no substance. I am not your kitchen table & privy to your inside jokes.
Omo is a fun and useful podcast. I really enjoy listening to the congenial and intelligent conversation about lutherie, whether it is emotional aspects, the business, interviewing other lutherie luminaries, experts on wood, all of it. I am an amateur guitar maker (the one guy listening from Alabama- evidently/perhaps or coincidentally - that they make fun of in their audience). I think the show is very interesting and enjoyable.

This is a really good podcast concept, but PLEASE get a good editor! There’s so much that should be cut out for conciseness. Keep doing what you’re doing.
You had me at “Imposter Syndrome”. After I discovered this podcast last month, I binge listened while working in the repair shop. After consuming every episode in about two weeks, I’m not only craving more of them episodes, but I feel so much more informed about violin and luthier topics I never really gave much thought to before… Like that guy Omobono… who knew?

Listeners are drawn to in-depth conversations about luthier culture, business challenges, craftsmanship, and education within the violin-making world. Episodes blend personal journeys (shop ownership, mentorship, and family trades) with technical topics like instrument making, restoration, and the economics of running a small arts business. A standout is the candid, humor-infused vibe that pairs expert knowledge with accessible storytelling, making it appealing to both working luthiers and enthusiasts exploring the craft. The show often features shop tours, comparisons of making vs restoration, and practical insights for sustaining a violin-focused business during economic shifts or industry changes.
