Master-built violins, violas and cellos
Jürgen Klier builds violins, violas and cellos ranging from reasonably priced students' models to the high-quality master instrument for top-class playing. Quality and individuality are his foremost aims.
All pieces are personally built by the master himself and are based on the famous Stradivari and Guarneri violins. The instruments are constructed from tonewoods with excellent sound characteristics which have been naturally seasoned for between 10 and 20 years. High-quality varnishes give the violins and violas their exquisite appearance. The result is select hand-crafted instruments either with an antique or modern surface-finish. Jürgen Klier works closely with professional musicians in the ongoing control and optimization of the sound of his violins.
