Instruments
Neapolitan Presepio’s Instruments
A gallery of Ernesto’s opera dedicated to the Neapolitan Presepio Scale. He recreated the luthier’s workshop on Presepio scale.
Ernesto de Angelis, medical doctor, Neapolitan researcher and luthier from the eyes of his daughter.
Those who knew Ernesto well understand how challenging it is to capture, in just a few lines, the essence of the man, beyond his considerable merits.
One can only wonder about the additional achievements he might have accomplished, the surprises hidden within the incomplete tools he left behind. Even now, I find myself captivated by the sight of his unfinished instruments—these bare creations of his hands. They are violins without paint, without strings, resting on his work table, patiently waiting for something, someone, to come and rescue them. To lend them a voice.
Sometimes, having skillful hands and artistic taste isn’t enough to craft a truly remarkable violin; there’s a need for something more, something to infuse them with a soul.
