Mario Lamarre

Lamarre specializes in making string-quartet instruments as well as double basses (contrabasses). From 1977 to 1980, he studied with Italian master Sylvio de Lellis, who had come to Quebec to found Canada's first stringed-instrument workshop/school. Over the more than 33 years that Lamarre has devoted to exploring the fascinating world of stringed-instrument making, he has developed a very unique approach to his craft, including concepts such as the faceted arch, while continuing to make more traditional instruments.

It was Lamarre's desire to eliminate the risk of cracks in the heel that led to the design of the D-Tube neck cradle. Mario felt that such a structure would also provide additional stability to the fingerboard and minimize the risk of cracks.
