Recommended Products

During my career as a violinist, I have tried many products, cases, and accessories. I have spent many hours researching and testing what is best for your violin and bow, but also the amp, software, and scores I recommend. This is road-proven material.

Most of the gear and products I recommend here I have selected and owned. A couple of them, I have researched and tried. In any case, I try to give an unbiased review of items that are not necessarily top of the line, but that provide the best value for money. When you have a gig, the last thing you want is something not reliable that breaks on you. So quality is important. This is what I trust and use.

Bow maintenance, care, and storage items. Let’s start off with the bow. It plays a crucial role in your sound and technique. As a key part of violin or viola playing, a bow surely needs special care. This is what I use to store my bows, to clean them, to take great care of them.
