Katrien Vandermeersch - violin maker

The studio builds new instruments, completely hand made.

Katrien Vandermeersch specializes in the construction of the violoncello and the bass violin, as well as the tenoralto. The alto and the violin can be built upon request. The inspiration for the construction of these strings comes not only from ancient Italian masters, but from Flemish violin makers from the 17th and 18th century and modern musicians as well. Besides, the interaction between builder and musician greatly influence the chosen model and the specific demands for the instrument. The studio also does reparations and restorations.
