Handmade Violins

Solid-wood violins built by hand in Romania, shaped and set up for a clear, balanced voice with genuine response and projection.

Overview

Our violins are built entirely by hand using solid tonewoods: a solid spruce top for clarity and response, with a solid maple back, ribs and neck for warmth and strength. We do not use plywood or laminated wood.

Each violin is constructed using traditional methods, then carefully set up — bridge, soundpost, nut, pegs and strings — so it plays comfortably and speaks evenly across the strings. The result is a balanced tone with good response and projection.
