The joy of discovering an old partita, or trying out an original instrument – acts which are exciting for an musician – are often quite problematic for string manufacturers. The variations amongst baroque and renaissance instruments are so wide that offering a standard string is impossible. Therefore, we have developed a program which allows you to choose a string that suits best with your instrument. We would be delighted to help you to make your choice or to offer you a custom made string.
