Atelier de Lutherie Anne Diana Grohmann
Cello maker
Anne Diana Grohman lives in the central Pyrenees, surrounded by welcoming and generous nature. Her workspace is dedicated to share and exchange with musicians and integrate them in the making process of hand made instruments.
Through diverse training in France (Nice), Belgium (Antwerp), Italy (Milan) and Germany (Berlin) she got a modern perspective of violin making. It is rooted in the Italian tradition though, which for me is born out of the simplicity and purity of a complex work following the rhythms of nature.
As an instrument maker she wants to create something real, meaning it has to bear a very special energy appropriate to the musician.
Grohmann: '' I think that we’re told of universal beauty by nature: it’s only through our senses that we can perceive it! I feel connected to the change and evolution of our time, which requires a search for new resources and a reasonable use of techniques and materials.Using traditional tone wood with best performances and experimenting with regional woods from the french pyrenees such as cherry, apple, willow, walnut or pear wood makes me happy.''
