Malaysia's first professional violin maker carves out a rare craft
SELANGOR, Malaysia (AP) — Hunched over his workbench, Tan Chin Seng shaves the wooden top plate of a violin, removing thin layers with slow, deliberate strokes. The work is meditative, out of the public eye. For Tan, transforming raw wood into a violin is a labor of artistry and love. The 45-year-old is Malaysia's first professional violin luthier, or maker of string instruments like violins, cellos and guitars. Over the past decade, he has earned international accolades. Now he mentors a new generation of makers in a field still little-known in Southeast Asia. Traditionally, violin luthiers are associated with Europe, where masters like Antonio Stradivari and Giuseppe Guarneri shaped the modern violin. The craft has spread globally, with thriving communities now in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Tan's path to violin-making was unconventional. A computer science graduate who doesn't play the violin, he was helping in his family's food business and co-owned a music school. In 2010, a trip to China to restore an aging violin sparked a deeper fascination with the instrument's construction. Curiosity led him to apprentice with Chinese luthier Han Zhao Sheng, and he built his first violin. 'After completing the first violin, I knew this craft was for me,' Tan said. 'There's woodworking, carpentry, artistic design. There's chemistry, acoustics, physics — everything about violin-making, I like it. Turning wood into music is just amazing.' What followed was, in Tan's words, a 'crazy' devotion. He flew back and forth to Beijing for more training, then traveled to Italy to study under other luthiers. In the early days, he would spend up to 16 hours a day hunched over wood, perfecting every curve and contour. In 2015, he committed to violin-making full time. The process is painstaking, often taking hundreds of hours to create a single violin and requiring intense focus. His studio, Deciso, located in a suburb near Kuala Lumpur, is cluttered with chunks of aged wood, chisels and jars of hand-mixed varnishes. Tan crafts up to 10 instruments a year, using spruce for the top plate — the wood is prized for its resonance — and maple for the back, sides and neck. Sourced from Europe and at an annual wood fair in Shanghai, they are aged for years to ensure tonal quality and prevent warping and cracking. Each violin begins with carving and smoothing the wooden boards to precise dimensions. Tan said the top and back plates are shaped to exact thicknesses that affect resonance. The ribs are bent and assembled, and the scroll is hand-carved at the neck. Varnish — often a luthier's secret blend — is applied in thin layers for protection and tonal influence. The last steps include cutting the bridge and stringing the instrument. Tan's early years were challenging. Some Malaysian clients compared his handmade work to mass-produced instruments. But business grew after he won international awards in Italy and beyond. Today, he builds violins — and occasionally violas and cellos — mainly on commission. Half of his clients come from abroad including France, Germany and Hong Kong. Each violin sells for 12,000 euros ($14,000). Tan's journey has inspired others. While most of his students are musicians and young people, few pursue it as a trade due to the demands of the craft. Still, some have followed in his footsteps including Chan Song Jie, Malaysia's first female violin luthier. Today, there are two other full-time violin luthiers in the country, both trained by him. Tan notes that the domestic market is still too small to support many more. 'I would say passion is not enough,' Tan said. 'We're all crazy. Everyone in this workshop — you see — they're all crazy. We just love the work too much.'

‘Then There Was One:' A Book Review
Who wouldn't want to read a mash-up of The Hunger Games and Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None? As the title suggests, Then There Was One leans heavily on one while borrowing a little from the other. The result? An entertaining mystery and a compulsive Young Adult thriller. The book is set in the future. Humankind has spread into Space. Earth has been left behind but not forgotten. Planets have been terraformed, and humans are colonising deep space. 'The Pinnacle' is a reality TV game show that draws millions of viewers. It has a huge cash prize and will change the winner's life forever. It is also supposed to be non-lethal. Contestants are eliminated, but not eliminated . The story is told from the viewpoint of three contestants, starting before they are taken to the game's secret location. Each of them has a burning desire to win the money, and a hinted-at secret. Two of the three are wealthy, with parents high up in the echelons of political power. The third, Raya, is a street kid on a mining planet, where the miners are exploited by their rich overlords. The three join the other seven contestants and are taken to a beautiful desert island. Before filming starts the next morning, they're told to make themselves comfortable at a table laden with food. It's at that point that things start to go wrong. This is a fun survival, cat-and-mouse thriller. One of the entrants to the Pinnacle dies from eating poisoned food at the banquet. Who was responsible? Was it one of the contestants or a sinister move by the TV production company? The teenagers in the show assume that people will arrive in the morning and help them out. Except they don't. Instead, the bodies pile up. What is going on? Who is behind the killings, and what secrets are lying behind the eyes of the wannabe winners of The Pinnacle? Discovering the answers to these questions makes Then There Was One a fun journey. There are some great tense set pieces, and as the field narrows, it is genuinely perplexing who the perpetrator is. If I had a criticism, I'd say that the novel lacks the depth of similar offerings. There's no burning social commentary here, much beyond 'rich people often aren't always very nice,' but not every book has to be deep. A compelling story is enough to make an entertaining read. While the book doesn't have the visceral thrill of The Hunger Games , Wendy Cross has created a world with greater logical consistency. The dystopian regions of The Hunger Games always bugged me, but there is no such irritation here. The denouement, when it comes, is a clever piece of misdirection, though the clues are there as we read through. And There Was One is a solid addition to a burgeoning genre. It's not going to redefine our expectations of what dystopian fiction can do, but it does deliver an intriguing mystery with an interesting conclusion. If you would like to pick up a copy of Then There Was One, you can do so here in the US and here, in the UK. (Affiliate Links) If you enjoyed this review, check out my other book reviews, here.
