Welcome to my workshop
My aim as a craftsman is to offer a customized service capable of servicing bowed string instruments for musicians of all levels.
Every violin, viola, and cello has unique qualities that may even go unnoticed. My role is to help you determine how to maximize the potential of your instrument all while considering your needs, virtuosity and budget.
My services are conceived with the goal of helping you achieve the best sound possible.
You are welcome to ship your instrument to our Strasbourg-based workshop for repairs and our online shop ships worldwide.
In addition to my home workshop in Strasbourg, I also have an online store where you will find a wide range of products and services. You will be able to enjoy the advantages of a violin making workshop from anywhere in the world. Although I specialize in quartet instruments and their bows, you will also find a selection of strings and other accessories in my online catalogue.

Luthier workshop blog
The luthier workshop blog is a way to share my passion for string quartet lutherie and bowed string instruments. Whether you are a musician or simply curious about the subject, you will find articles on the blog that discuss the materials, tools and techniques I use in my workshop.
As a French luthier in Strasbourg, I see this as an opportunity to share some helpful tips about the use and maintenance of not only violins, violas, cellos, but also their bows and accessories.
