By appointment only. Local sales of stringed instruments, violin making and service repair orders have been handed over to our master workshop and showroom in Cremona since mid-2022. 

Since 2003, several thousand old stringed instruments have passed through the hands of the violin makers at our workshops where instruments are worked over and restored. Our highly qualified luthiers, violin makers and master violin makers have spent long years of intense work dealing with a variety of different design standards, distinctive physical and acoustic properties, and a wide range of forms of damage.
