Joseph Curtin is an American contemporary violinmaker who lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is recognised as one of the world's greatest violinmakers.[1]
He was a 2005 recipient of a MacArthur Fellows Program "genius grant".[2]
He has also directed workshops on violin design through the Violin Society of America, a group of builders.
Curtin is known[by whom?] for using technology such as MRIs, Lasers, and other scanning devices to measure the acoustics of violins, to aid in his designs.[3][4] Curtin uses the information gathered to create replicas of famous antique violins, as well as research for more avant-garde designs including instruments made out of carbon fibre.[5]
