Online selection of Tonewood

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested in any piece

Our product range consists only of tone wood that has been air dried - for up to
12 years. We hold a large selection of more than 1.000 violin and viola fronts and backs as well as a large
range of cello and double bass fronts.

We also have a large quantity of bass bars and block wood as well as freshly cut and historic repair wood in stock. We are usually able to tell you the date and place of felling for every piece of wood. After you place your initial order we are then able to supply you with wood from the same tree again. This is assuming stocks
are still available.

Fronts for violin and viola are sawn or split (if required the split fronts can be sawn down the middle). Fronts for cello and double bass are sawn. Bass bars for violin and viola are sawn or split.
