For more than two decades we have been building fine violins, violas and cellos in our studio. With a lot of know-how and experience, we create sonorous individual pieces from noble materials, all of which unmistakably bear the Versteeg signature.
Fine instruments for over 20 years
Old Masters as a source of inspiration
Violin making is an art – and inspiration is an essential factor for success. We have the invaluable advantage of being able to restore first-class instruments by Italian masters in our studio and to study their concepts in detail. This is where we get valuable inspiration for making our own new instruments.
Materials of the highest quality
Uns steht eine große Auswahl erstklassiger, hervorragend für den Instrumentenbau geeigneter Hölzer zur Verfügung. Die Fichten stammen zum Teil aus dem 17. und 18. Jahrhundert. Unser Lack ist das Resultat jahrelanger Entwicklungsarbeit, in die auch neueste Forschungen über Cremoneser Lack aus dem 17. und 18. Jahrhundert eingeflossen sind. Die Lackpigmente stellen wir zum größten Teil auf traditionelle Weise selbst her. Im Ergebnis entwickelt sich das Lackbild durch den Gebrauch des Instruments in gewünschter Weise weiter. Auf die künstliche Herstellung eines Alterungs- und Abnutzungsbildes können wir deshalb verzichten.
Exquisite instruments, exquisite service
In the production of new violins, violas and cellos, we respond to the needs and tonal ideas of the musicians to the highest degree. If you want to see and play a selection of our instruments, please make an appointment with us. We are looking forward to your visit. In addition, you can follow in the News section when a new instrument is ready and can be tried out.
On this page you can see a selection of instruments that have been created in our workshop in recent years.
