This study analyses the luthier's philosophy on traditional violin making through a literature review and online survey to investigate the sources of the affective value produced by the violin. Violins have existed for more than five centuries without changing their traditional artisan philosophy and design, without being taken in by industrial advances such as alternative materials and greater efficiency that have accompanied many technological innovations since the industrial revolution. The luthier's philosophy of artisanship, which has been passed down is considered key to these violins, known for their acoustic performance and appearance over time due to the use of natural materials and traditional techniques by skilled artisans. The results of this study suggest that these traditional violins have a traditional philosophy that affirms the individual character of the musical instrument and is conscious of its growth after it is worked.
