Every instrument is carefully prepared to deliver optimal sound and comfort.
Creating a violin involves selecting high-quality spruce and maple known for their acoustic properties. The wood is shaped and assembled using traditional methods to produce the desired resonance.
Once the body is completed, the instrument is varnished and set up with bridge, soundpost, and strings. Each violin is carefully adjusted to achieve balanced tone and smooth playability.
Handcrafted violins often provide richer tonal depth and improved responsiveness compared with mass-produced instruments. Musicians benefit from instruments tailored to their playing style.
Our experience working with classical string instruments allows us to help musicians achieve the sound they are looking for.

Sydney Luthier Justin White has been crafting musical instruments for over 25 years and to date has built over 160 instruments. His interest in lutherie was an amalgamation of both his background working with wood and tools growing up and his musical studies in both classical guitar and violin.
Justin began his musical studies as a teenager, learning both electric and classical guitar before taking up the violin. His tertiary music studies were at the University of New South Wales, where he studied both modern and baroque violin, and graduated with first class honours. He then undertook postgraduate research study in music theory and analysis.
