PARDESSUS DE VIOLE

„ … elle (Mme Lévi, -„la célèbre) tira de cet instrument des sons plus vifs et plus parfaits, … et pro-mena son archet sans aigreur jusqu’au plus haut du manche.“

Mercure de France, 1745

(„... she (Mrs. Lévi, ‘the celebrity’) drew the most vivid and perfect sounds from this instrument, ... and guided the bow smoothly, all the way to the highest notes at the end of the fingerboard." )

We take care to ensure that such harmonious sounds can easily be elicited by those who use our strings.

Since the string length (vibrating length of the string measured from nut to bridge) of individual instruments differs, the string thicknesses should be chosen according to the string length.

Our wound strings guarantee a new playing experience.

Winding:

-copper silver-plated, dark, warm sound

-copper, bright clear sound

SCHÜRCH-BRIDGE

For the fifths between the strings to be pure, the mass in the string must be evenly distributed. Gut is a natural product that can change through playing. With the Schürch bridge, you can reliably and easily check your string for fifths purity and correct it with fine sandpaper if necessary.Until the introduction of machine sanding, it was a matter of course for musicians to rework the string themselves. The awareness of the need for this has disappeared to this day.Re-sharpening the strings with the Schürch-Bridge is simple and uncomplicated and prolongs the playability of your string.Instruction
