Can you easily embrace change? Change is inevitable, but how would you like it if your favorite car model underwent a makeover? I think change is always good as it provides a break and refreshes interest. This is exactly what Austria-based Gerda Hopfgartner did to the age old violin. The baroque styling of the musical instrument had remained unchanged for over 500 years, he points out. Her ‘semi-acoustic Violin’ re-design will be presented in the Tokyo Design Week later this month, under her brand name, ‘Gevari’. The new design is a sleek and stylish black colored violin with a very trendy cut and shape. I’m sure the re-vamp will definitely interest a lot more music enthusiasts and will appeal a lot more to the younger generation.
