Quality in violin making

Technical and creative know-how in tool making

In cooperation with numerous violin makers, we combine specialist knowledge in instrument making, new construction with technical and creative know-how. Ideas and custom-made products and prototypes are turned into professional tools that are made available to the general public and therefore to each violin-maker. We also extensively test third-party brands, choose the best and include them in our onlineshop.

As a partner, we are interested in implementing your ideas. Just contact us.

Paintbrush flat big for varnish and lacquer

New building paintbrush Superior Blanc

When painting instruments, it is almost impossible to work quickly without interruption and without annoying hair loss with common violin-making brushes. In cooperation with violin makers, we have completely rethought the classic paint brush. This new brush is suitable for all types of varnish, metal and oxidation-free, solvent-resistant, very durable and without hair loss. The brush shape developed by master violin maker Veit Jacob with one side corner rounded, allows clear, precise edges with smooth, streak-free gradients at the same time.

LUT Universal glue

Simple hide glue is usually used in the making of new violins and cellos. These often have a strong smell, which makes temporary work rather unpleasant. More important than that, however, is the quality. Conventional bone and hide glue cannot guarantee constant quality, as this can vary greatly from batch to batch. Our LUT Universal glue, with its high transparency and glue strength, does not smell and has a test report, which guarantees the constant parameters and the high quality standard.

Amber Cracked

In new violin making, making your own varnish is a good thing. The production of amber varnish poses the greatest challenges. Thanks to the pre-cracked Amber Cracked, the melting temperature of the otherwise pure, unprocessed amber drops considerably. Due to the significantly lower processing temperatures with amber cracked, handling is much easier because the pretreated amber can be more easily dissolved in the oil. This greatly reduces the cost of varnish production and the potential for danger.

Through innovation to perfection

In-house development and testing of quality tools and accessories

The traditional occupation of the violin maker includes not only new construction but also care, maintenance and repair. The more demanding tasks include restoration and retouching. The new building includes the production of string instruments, in addition to the violin, the viola, cello, double bass and other instruments belonging to the viol family. For all these areas of activity, the violin maker needs to buy the right tool, to support him in his work as best as possible.

Our target is to rise the quality of the work on instruments to the highest level with the invention of new tools and other products in our online shop.
