Welcome to a French violin maker's atelier
My aim as a craftsman is to offer a bespoke service, capable of answering to the needs of any string instruments of the violin family, no matter what level the player is at.
In every violin, viola, or cello, there is potential that may be completely undiscovered by its user. Together, we will determine the right combination that will allow you to use the full potential of your instrument. This way we can align your desire with your project, considering your virtuosity as well as your budget.
Finally, my services are designed to realize your ideal sound.
You can send me your instruments for repair and our online shop ships worldwide.
In addition to my workshop in Strasbourg, I also offer an online shop where you will find most of my products and services. You will be able to enjoy the advantages of a violin making workshop, entirely at your disposal, wherever you are. As you probably already know, I specialise in quartet instruments and their bows. But you will also find in my catalogue accessories and specially selected strings.
