Miguel Melenchon, is one of the finest makers of violins in the area. His violins and string instruments, without a doubt, reflect the touch of a master's hand.

They are accurate in dimension in every way. The finest woods are used and the details are carved to perfection. But the real accomplishment of his work is announced when his instruments are played. The finest of tone comes forth, balanced and true, the soul of the violin grasps the player and the audience with the desire to have no end to the performance.

The Melenchon Brothers made a replica of a cello built in 1739 by Domenico Montagnana of Venice, a contemporary of Antonio Stradivarius.
