Always a busy area, the master craftsmen in the violin & viola workshop, create the most beautiful instruments, quietly working on each one until it is perfect.
The luthiers use traditional skills handed down from generation to generation.
Bows
Light and airy, the bow workshop is surprisingly spacious, a peaceful place to be as the master bow makers work quietly creating some of the best bows in the world.
You could be forgiven for thinking you had travelled back 100 years when you see this workshop. We use our skills learned from 170 years of heritage.
Lacquering
Our lacquering workshop creates and mixes its own lacquers and spirit varnishes, using our own secret recipes. This is how we obtain such wonderful looking stringed instruments.
Each instrument is carefully finished using a process that has not changed for centuries. We create a superb depth of colour letting the natural features of the tonewood to stand out.
