LIUTERIA SIRLETO Products

The Sirleto Brothers specialize in handcrafting string instruments such as violins, violas, cellos and double basses. Their violins are made in the Cremonese and Neapolitan style. Each string instrument carries a label inside, dated and signed by the Sirleto Brothers. A certificate of authenticity that includes the instrument's main specifications, its identification number, year of making and signature, along with 3 photographs (showing each side) also accompanies each instrument.
Each type of instrument requires different materials, number of pieces and timing but all demand precision, patience, skill and an intense ability to observe and listen carefully at each handcrafting phase. In the same manner, the Sirleto Brothers extend their keen listening skills to the preferences and specifications of each instrument's future owner.
A violin, for example, is composed of more than 60 pieces of the finest wood, and its handcrafting requires at least one month of masterly as well as loving work. Join us in seeing how the Sirleto Brothers make one, step-by-step.
