Crafting the Tonal Core

Our master luthiers begin by meticulously selecting the finest tonewoods, expertly shaping and carving each piece to form the violin's dynamic body and sides. Through a harmonious blend of traditional methods and modern precision, they coax out the inherent warmth and resonance of the wood, creating the tonal foundation for a truly exceptional instrument.

Perfecting the Visual Artistry

Each Wilh Steinberg violin is meticulously hand-painted using our exclusive formula, resulting in a flawless, lustrous finish that showcases the natural beauty of the tonewoods. The final stage involves a comprehensive setup, ensuring optimal playability, intonation and responsiveness for musicians of all skill levels. The culmination of this painstaking craftsmanship is a violin that is not only a joy to play, but a true work of art.
