BATISTA -

Founded by a professional luthier in the early 2010, Batista quickly became one of the best and most recognised violin and cello brand in Western Australia. Pairing the high caliber workmanship from the luthier, teachers and students today highly appraise the Batista brand.

The Batista VL80 & VC80 are one of the most popular entry-level model violin and cello as they are hand set-up by the luthier himself. For this reason, every Batista is consistent and well made. 

The Batista luthier is arguably one of the best in his field in Australia. We have worked with him for over 6 years and has seen his unmatched knowledge and skills, and extreme accurate measurements.

OTTO JOS KLIER -

The Klier brand has been making instruments for 128 years, beginning with Schönbach violin maker Johann Klier in 1887 who had set up his workshop in Egerland. He created violins for clients in Vienna and as far as Russia. Following Johann Kliers death in 1918 his eldest son Otto Josef Klier took over from the workshop and became renowned for the varnish of his violins, the same varnishes are still used today!

Before the great depression up to 50,000 violins were made each year! Once the great depression hit they broadened their line to include guitars. In 1948 the Klier family fled Egerland abandoning the workshop they had spent years developing and created their new home in Bubenreuth, Germany. Otto Josef died in 1961 and his widow Rosa became the head of the company. 

The Otto Jos Klier instruments are skilfully hand-crafted in Germany today using European maple and spruce tone woods and professionally setup by the Luthiers in a Sydney based workshop to ensure good playability and quality of sound. 

SCHROEDER -

Established by Violins Australia, the company developed their violins with Nanjing Pty Ltd, an experienced strings maker workshop in China that have been providing a range of high-quality instruments for many years. VA developed their range wanting to have models with contrasting sound profiles and variance. One of the ranges the team at Nanjing produced is the Schroeder model, named after the German-American Cellist Alwin Schroeder. The models are bright and clear sounding with golden varnishes to emphasize the brilliance of the sound. These instruments are beautifully hand crafted in China and professionally set up by the luthiers in their workshop in the Eastern states.
