Abe Jun dedicated himself to violin making from 1981 in Tokyo and Nagano at Yu Iida's botega. He then moved to Salzburg to devote himself to restoration and in 1985 to Florence at Mitsumasa Usui to devote himself to bows.
His acquaintance with Giuseppe Stefanini and Giancarlo Guicciardi enabled him to perfect his style. Since 1991, he has been practising on his own. His violins are inspired by models of Stradivali and Guarneri di Gesù, while for the violas he makes his own models.
The varnish used is oil, according to classical tradition, yellow-red-orange, transparent and thick.
He has been an A.L.I. member since 2000.
