This violin has been Olaf’s special project for the last 2 years and they’re finally available!
The top of this violin is made from the wood from the same forest where Stradivarius got his wood over 300 years ago.
The spruce is special…
The minerals in the Fiemme Valley soil are unique and make for a rich and beautiful sound…
There are a lot of other aspects that help in producing a beautiful sound.
Olaf carefully planned every aspect of the making process.
Olaf also does the final interior work on the instrument as well as the Master Optimised Set-up.
Quick preview of what you will get:
My instruments are easier to play, because I personally do my Master set-up. It is a known fact that many string players fail because the instrument they are playing has not been set up properly and will not do what they need it to do. This can lead to problems with playing in tune and in extreme cases even RSI! It’s just not worth taking the risk of buying a badly set up instrument.
- Plane the Fingerboard to a professional
standard. This means that you will have a fingerboard that has the same shape as that of most instruments that you will hear in concert halls around the world - I will fit a professional quality French bridge crafted by a master violin maker with specialized acoustic knowledge to make the instrument sound the best that it can.
- Fit a professional quality soundpost to really bring out the rich tonal qualities. There is a reason that in many languages the soundpost is called the “Soul”. It takes a master to fit and move the soundpost into the right position to really make the instrument sing.
- I always fit the Instruments with great quality strings for that rich sound.
- Each peg is carefully refitted to make sure that if is very easy to tune the instrument using the pegs.
- The tailpiece is checked and refitted to make sure it is in the best acoustical position
- I check and recheck the string height and spacing to make sure it is absolutely perfect. It is only easy to play the violin when the string height is absolutely right.
