Our Instruments
HISTORICAL AND CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTS
Our Process
The work begins with a meeting with the performers to learn about their artistic profiles, the repertoires they play, and the acoustic nuances they would like to distinguish in their instruments. After the meeting, we prepare the quotes, specifying the details of the project.
This type of "one-of-a-kind" construction is considered the highest professional quality, renowned for achieving excellence in every detail. Thus, each instrument becomes a unique and original work of art, backed by a certificate of authenticity and a full 12-month warranty, covering any problem related to its creation.
