Welcome!
My name is Kimon Argyropoulos and I'm a violinmaker. In addition, I make videos for YouTube about my work and other bowed-instrument related topics. Have a look on my channel or below for my videos.
At the moment I publish 2 videos each month: The "Making
a violin" series where I show and explain how a violin is made step by step and
the "Repair Series" where I show all kinds of repairs I do in my workshop on
different instruments. These two series alternate each other and are published
on the 11th of the month. Last but not least I make videos on different
topics that are related to the bowed instruments and I review products. From
time to time I will upload videos where I open the post, visit events or update
my viewers about what is going on. These videos will be online on the 26th
of the month. Do you have any idea about a topic that you want me to talk about
or do you organize an event that you want me to visit? Don't hesitate to let me
know!
