The sound of Cremonese instruments has fascinated and delighted people for hundreds of years.

Concealed by the musicians' brilliance is the talent of the violin maker, artisan and woodworking artist, whose skill lies in giving body to sound by choosing the materials and designing the forma and contours.

Every step in the construction of an instrument involves not just a critical mass of knowledge and experience, but also engages the maker´s soul.

The result is a being that comes alive in the hands of the musician, transmitting emotion through its perfect resonance.

The aspiration of Cremona's violin-making is to make this magic eternal, using the same traditional method developed five hundred years ago, recognized and admired around the world and a permanent source of inspiration for modern makers.

Cremona's craftsmen protect their tradition through the CREMONA LIUTERIA® hallmark, which guarantees that the certified instrument has been made by hand by a Cremonese professional master violin maker.
