Surface treatment
Violinmakers worry about lacquering the instruments, since it often impairs the sound of the white instrument. Managing perfect surface treatment, beautiful color and gloss requires rich knowledge and experiences. At the same time, it is a very time-consuming and elaborate matter. The Akord Kvint master violinmakers abound in extraordinary knowledge of the surface treatment of string instruments. The lacquers are prepared according to old, well-established recipes. The lacquering technology itself is then a key to the success of the whole process.
