The master violin maker Jürgen Manthey builds stringed instruments – violins, violas and cellos – following classical models which he recreates by purely handcrafting them using high-quality woods and self made oil varnish.

The results are instruments that come very close to the originals both in sound and appearance.

His instruments, which have been awarded numerous prizes for sound and construction, enjoy an international reputation and are played by many professional musicians.
