A production in tune with the customer's wishes

The production of strings for violins, violas and celli requires several factors in order to be successful: The strings must be strong, uniform and should produce a sound that lives up to the musician's standards of tone, color, power and brilliance.

At the same time, strings are a commodity that a professional musician uses in great numbers, and consequently the price has to be just right. Commonly produced from extruded steel wire sometimes plated with an outer casing of copper, platinum or gold, violin strings are both incredibly thin and extremely strong - and require extraordinary precision during manufacturing.
