Violin maker in Geneva
Tradition and
Craftsmanship

Welcome to Olivier’s workshop, a passionate violin maker dedicated to demanding musicians.

With expertise inspired by the great Italian masters of the 17th and 18th centuries, I combine tradition and innovation to make exceptional instruments.

An art at the service of musicians

Every violin, viola, or cello that passes through my hands receives meticulous attention. Whether it’s custom making, careful restoration, or refined maintenance, I make it a point of honor to meet each musician’s specific needs. My unique expertise allows my clients to rediscover the depth and richness of a perfectly tailored instrument in every note.

Rooted in Geneva and inspired by a family legacy

Based in Geneva, I draw inspiration from a musical heritage dating back to the 1940s, when my grandparents performed at the Grand Théâtre de Genève. This local connection is a source of strength for me, and every creation or restoration reflects this family history and passion for music passed down through generations.
