The New Violin: The Lifetime Work of Franz Thomastik

July 21, 2025 By Mark Zweifel

Sunday, July 27th, 3:00–5:00 pm ET

In our last MysTech webinar, we explored the twelve senses. At our 2023 conference, we turned our attention to resonance. Now, we invite you to join us for a new conversation—one that listens deeply to the living qualities of music and the instruments that carry it.

What makes a musical instrument more than wood and strings? Why do certain instruments move us so deeply, while others remain silent to our inner life? How can the craft of instrument making become a path of consciousness and care?

These are questions that have accompanied master violin maker Arthur Bay for nearly fifty years. In this special webinar, Arthur will share his journey, his research into the original instruments of Franz Thomastik (1883–1951), and the living tradition of anthroposophical violin making that began in Vienna and continues in his Hamburg workshop today.

You’ll also meet our host, Aleodor Lazarescu, an engineer and Waldorf educator dedicated to deepening the practical and spiritual understanding of technology and education.

Whether you are a musician, a maker, or simply someone who listens with wonder, you are warmly invited to join us for this exploration. There will be time for questions and conversation.
