To complete his skills, Benoit Charon also attended as a professional training the Franck Ravatin workshop and worked with both Frederic Becker and Barath Kandekhar.
In October 2001, He decided to set up his own workshop in Saint Louis in order to make his own instruments, which are inspired by the Cremonese masters of the Golden Period.
He presents his work at famous exhibitions such as Musicora in Paris, Mondomusica in Cremona, and the international Viola Festival in Kronberg, Germany.
His violins, violas and cellos are made from only the finest quality wood, selected for its aesthetic beauty and individual acoustic properties.
