Marcel Goffin (1913–1999) was an accomplished amateur violin maker. He earned his living as a humble service technician by day but devoted most of his free time to his real vocation, violin making. In this art he was completely self-taught. He built a total of 50 instruments, the last one when he was 85 years old. (M 39658) _ _.
