There is no doubt, that in the violin literature, the most written and discussed subject has been that of violin varnish. Volumes have been written regarding its use, application and “secret” and “magical” recipes.

We can supply the professional and novice maker with what we believe are the definitive preparations for instruments.

Our research is based on over 40 years of exhaustive research and experimentation. All varnish is prepared here in our shop and is produced over a four to six months period much the same way as the old masters.

We have been guided by ancient recipes and, qualified professional use over the past 100 plus years by a personal relative as well as the detailed manuscripts of the past two and a half centuries.
