Circle of Czech Master Violinmakers
The Circle of Czech Master Violinmakers (KUH) brings together professional violin makers, bow makers and restorers of string instruments. Membership requires a professional level of violin making and thorough understanding of related artistic qualities. The aim is not to put together as many makers as possible, but only the very best ones. Membership in KUH is therefore a prestigious recognition of maker’s abilities and a guarantee of quality in the eyes of the public.

All events →„It has been acknowledged since ancient times that the making of musical instruments ought to be regarded as an art.“
From the records of the guild of musical instrument makers, 1890. The Circle was founded in 1958 to protect independent violin making at a time when workshops faced nationalisation. Today it stands above all as a guarantee of quality.
