3 luthiers in Cremona

Luthiers in Cremona.

The birthplace of the modern violin. Cremona has been home to violin makers since Andrea Amati in the 1550s and Antonio Stradivari and Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù in the 17th and 18th centuries. The city's Scuola Internazionale di Liuteria continues to train most of the world's contemporary makers.

Finding a luthier in Cremona

Luthiers in Cremona work on the full string family — violin, viola, cello and double bass. Typical work includes setup and soundpost adjustment, bridge fitting, crack and seam repair, fingerboard planing, neck resets, bow rehairing, valuation and appraisal, and new instruments built to commission.

Before booking a workshop in Cremona, ask what the luthier specialises in: a maker who builds new instruments is not always the right person for an antique restoration, and bow work is its own trade. Every listing below shows the city, the instruments covered and direct contact details, so you can approach the right Cremona workshop first time.
