Home

At Atelier voor Strijkinstrumenten in Groningen, you can rent or buy a violin, viola, cello, or double bass of excellent quality. Whether you are a beginner wanting to rent an instrument to try it out, or an advanced player seeking an instrument tailored to your wishes, please feel free to contact me to discuss the possibilities. I specialize in low string instruments and also repair all kinds of instruments.

Rental

Playing an instrument becomes even more enjoyable when the sound is good. So you want to play on a quality instrument. But if you’re just starting to make music, it can be risky to purchase an expensive instrument right away. If you want to get started with a violin, cello, or double bass and aren’t sure what size is suitable for you, it’s smart to start with a rental instrument.

Repair / maintenance

Does your instrument need maintenance? I have ample experience with all sorts of repairs on all bowed instruments and particularly the double bass as I am a double bass player myself. Setting up a double bass is a very particular job. All too often I come across instruments that are very hard to play or that don’t sound very good. For both the beginner and professional player a properly set up instrument is crucial. You’ll enjoy playing more and will progress more quickly. It is my mission to get the absolute best out of your instrument.
