The violas in our Selection category have been played for at least six months, allowing their tonal qualities to mature. During this period, each instrument is carefully evaluated and adjusted several times. After its individual character has fully developed is it included in this category.
For the first two years after purchase, we continue to support both the instrument and its player. The purchase is not simply the handover of an instrument, but the beginning of a musical partnership between the viola, the musician and our workshop. During this time, we are happy to carry out tonal adjustments free of charge and, where necessary, make further refinements to the neck, fingerboard and pegs to ensure the instrument is perfectly suited to its new owner.
Return Option
If, within the first two years, it becomes clear that the viola is not the right long-term match for the player, we will take it back under the conditions outlined below.
€17,000
The violas in our Atelier series are offered after only a short playing-in period. They are fully set up and ready to play, while continuing to develop their tonal potential through regular use. During the first two years after purchase, we are happy to support this process with two tonal adjustments if desired.
Both categories are crafted in the same way and share the same uncompromising tonal standards. The difference lies in the stage at which the instrument is offered and the extent of its tonal development. The option to return an instrument is available exclusively for violas in the Selection category.
The return option is available during the first two years after purchase and applies exclusively to violas from the Selection series. The following conditions apply:

Alternatively, within the first two years, the viola may be exchanged for another instrument of equal value at no additional cost.
