Julian Cancelliere is a renowned Italian luthier based in Cremona, the historic cradle of string instrument making. Trained at the prestigious International School of Violin Making in Cremona, Cancelliere has built a distinguished career devoted to crafting violins, violas, and cellos inspired by the classical tradition, combining deep respect for historical methods with a constant pursuit of acoustic perfection.

His work is characterized by exceptional craftsmanship and a profound understanding of the acoustic behavior of wood, which he carefully selects for its density, elasticity, and natural beauty. He employs traditional Cremonese construction techniques, such as the use of the internal mold and hand-applied varnish made from natural resins, achieving instruments celebrated for their tonal balance, powerful sound, and aesthetic elegance.

Julian Cancelliere’s violins are highly valued by professional musicians for their immediate response, harmonic richness, and balanced projection — qualities that reflect both his technical mastery and musical sensitivity. His work proudly continues the great Cremonese lutherie tradition of masters like Stradivari and Guarneri, while expressing a distinctive and contemporary artistic voice.
