Guillaume KESSLER - French violin maker

Violin - Viola - Cello - Bows

  • We ship worldwide

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.
