Violin making - violins, violas, cellos

Traditional Mittenwald School Violin Making

Mittenwald school violin making tradition has always been the greatest passion for our luthiers. Traditional craftmanship in combination with the close and constant exchange with many professional violinists of great orchestras for their individual needs is the basis for the art of violin making in our studio.

Our Designs: Italian Master Instruments

We make on average around three to five instruments per year. Lena Fischer uses instrument designs by Italian masters to make our very own violins, violas and cellos. Designs include

Ferdinant Gagliano, Tommaso Carcassi and Carlo Giuseppe Testore

Tonally, our most acclaimed instrument is based on a violin by

Guarneri del Gesù 1742

Violin Wood – Ingredients for Sound Quality

The most important ingredient for a good instrument is high-quality wood. Our wood, some of which was acquired in 1970 from our predecessor Ludwig Closner, can go back as far as the 19th century. It is kept lying perfectly flat in our well aired storage facility waiting to be brought to life by expert hands. Instruments from our own studio see Instruments and Bows.
