America’s favorite German instruments!

Rudoulf Doetsch instruments are made in the time – honored workshop tradition by a collaboration of family workshops in the small town or Erlangen, Germany.  Necks, scrolls, ribs, tops, and backs are each carved by specialists in their home workshops, and are assembled into instruments in the main workshop.  The instruments are then sent to the United States where specialists expertly adjust them for optimal response, tone and playability.  Tone specialists remove the tops to make internal adjustments to the tops, backs and bass bars.  Necks are checked for correct size and graduation.  Then, the signature Rudoulf Doetsch shaded antique – style spirit varnish is hand applied.  From their beginnings in a small violin making town in Germany to their completion in our American workshop, Rudoulf Doetsch instruments are in the hands of experts.  That’s why they have become known as “America’s favorite German instruments!”
