When you buy an antique instrument you are buying the history that goes with it. When you commission an instrument YOU are making its history.

There is nothing quite like having an instrument made just for you. From choosing the wood, model, varnish pigments and accessories, this collaborative process follows a tradition going back centuries (we’re not that old but violin makers have been doing this for a long time).

The techniques, materials and tools we use are the same that you would find in the workshops of Italian violin makers liutaio of the 18th century.
