Teaching of tuning and repair work in Italy and Germany. However much one learns itself by experience and a lot of patience.

In 1987 began the development of Stradella models in collaboration with Dallapè factory in Italy. I have all these years enjoyed an excellent working relationship with Amleto Dallapè and his staff.
Cooperation with Borsini started in 1999. They have many interesting models with low weight, and it is always interesting to discuss technical solutions and tuning with Vincenzo.
