The Svencino Philosophy 

At Svencino, we believe every violin has the potential to be extraordinary, regardless of its maker, cost, or origin. A well-set-up violin offers the player — you — the expressive power needed to truly enjoy your musical journey, beginner to pro. Without proper care, no instrument can deliver the rich, satisfying experience you deserve while learning or performing.

That’s why we ensure all violins and bows, from student models to concert-quality instruments, are meticulously set up, regulated, and fine-tuned to unlock their full potential. Even violins that are hastily made in factory settings can be transformed with meticulous craftsmanship, resulting in an instrument that sounds and feels exceptional.

Svencino’s Four Axioms
Axiom 1: Sharpening is Truth.
The foundation of fine lutherie (instrument making) begins with sharp tools. A blade’s edge doesn’t lie — it either cuts cleanly or it doesn’t. For us, sharpening represents integrity and excellence, where each cut reflects the tool’s ability to be precise and the luthier’s skill, in both keen sharpening and use of the tool..

Axiom 2: Listen to the Instrument.
True lutherie requires responding to what the instrument reveals through sight, touch, and sound — not what our mind’s preference or assumptions tell us. This dedication of responding to sensory feedback, and not the noise of a busy mind, ensures insightful qualities in every adjustment we make.

Axiom 3: Patience & Perseverance.
Patience & Perseverance is the measure of energy put into creating a great instrument. Making and restoring violins demands unwavering patience. Whether perfecting a bow’s camber or fine-tuning an intricate detail. Perseverance leads to instruments that inspires easier to achieve musical expression.

Axiom 4: Harmony in Imperfections.
A violin’s perfection is a fine balance of regulated irregularities. Each part is adjusted with perfect imperfections  to complement an innate imperfection, coaxing an instrument to feel seamless which allows for flawless performance.

By embracing these axioms, Svencino delivers exceptional lutherie, bringing out the best of what is found inside your treasured instrument(s).
