Rarities

Rare violins, violas and bows – This special collection of rarities and one-of-a-kind pieces from our selection is a treasure trove for collectors and musicians alike. Any old instrument, of course, is a rare character inimitably formed by its history.
Beyond that, however, we regularly find special pieces, oddities, violins made by rare luthiers and instruments constructed for special purposes: left-handed violins, silent violins, baroque violins, rare bows, fine small-sized bows and other interesting stringed instruments.
