Founder’s Note
Crafted for Greatness—Empowering Artists with History’s Finest Instruments
Stretton Violins GmbH was founded on the conviction that rare instruments are not merely objects of beauty or value—they are witnesses of history, entrusted to us for a time, and destined to serve those whose artistry gives them voice.
Our aim is to create an environment in which excellence is not only preserved but made relevant—by supporting outstanding musicians, fostering long-term relationships with patrons, and upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship and care.
This work is as much about responsibility as it is about resonance. It is a commitment to ensuring that the most remarkable instruments continue to inspire, to speak, and to shape the future of music.
