Nowadays a resident of Cremona, Italy, Grisales also wants the instruments to be loaned, at the museum’s discretion, to certain musicians so that they may be played.

This instrument builder was born in Antioquia and grew up in the Buenos Aires neioghborhood, he makes it a point to return to the country every two years. At the age of 45 he specializes in making bow instruments and says that, for his life, he made the decision to be a great maker of instruments as opposed to a bad musician.
