While many musicians in the search of the perfect set-up come to us, once in a while violinmakers also find their way to us.

Yesterday, Ian Crawford McWilliams, a Canadian violinmaker living in Brandenburg an der Havel, traveled all the way to Southern Denmark to visit us. He brought with him a cello and a viola.

As Ian explains it, for a violinmaker it is important to choose an all-round string set-up that will suit the needs of most musicians.

With the help of cellist Katarina Skliarevski and Larsen Strings’ violist Marie Girard we tried new set-ups of strings on the two wonderful instruments, improving the overall balance and sonority of the already well sounding viola and cello.

Thank you Ian for stopping by
