Treasures of exceptional sound quality

Sesto Rocchi was born in Reggio Emilia, Italy. He began studying violin making at the School of Violin Making at the Parma Conservatory under Gaetano Sgarabotto. After about six years of study, he moved to Milan to further his knowledge with Leandro Bisiach. He received over 17 international awards at violin making competitions from 1952 to 1966. Sesto Rocchi made up to ten quartets and several antique instruments modelled on those of his masters Sgarabotto and Bisiach. His experience in Leandro Bisiach's workshop, where he made many instruments and was able to observe and copy antique instruments, was extremely useful for his own career.
