@aliwhitwell May be, but nowdays there are much more violinist than before and most of them just can nor pay for a luthier's instrument. Just for number is impossible that little traditional workshops can cover the demand. Also those cheap chinese make affordable to learn violin to poor students in developing countries. Also yamaha are japanese and as you can see are handmade and heir quality is far superior from cheapy chineses.
I was privileged to be given an insight into violin making by a master violin luthier, Lionel Gliori. Lionel is now 86 years young and because of the pressures on the violin market from the likes of the Chinese he now plans to make just one violin a year - to be ready on each of his birthdays. It seems that the mass production of violins will likely replace the individualism of the single master craftsman.

@assa123assa123 now tell me one reason why they should give up proven Japanese techniques and adopt something else?
