Situated in the heart of Switzerland, the Swiss School of Violin Making in Brienz acts as a modern training place communicating traditional techniques and the use of innovative technologies. It is our vision to prepare young violin makers for their future challenges and to maintain and develop our traditional profession.

We have won!
For the second time in a row (after 2022), the Swiss violin making school has won 1st prize in the “Talents de demain” category at the International Violin Making Competition in Paris. The winning instrument, a replica of Antonio Stradivari’s famous “Sarasate” from 1724, was made by our 3rd year apprentice, Eva Schulz.
We are very happy and congratulate!
