Welcome

We train the violin makers of tomorrow.

As a modern training centre in the heart of Switzerland, the Swiss School of Violin Making in Brienz teaches both traditional working methods and the use of innovative technologies. Our aim is to prepare young violin makers as effectively as possible for the challenges of their future profession, while preserving and further developing our time-honoured craft.
