"Over the last years GEWA has set up a production for bowed instruments. A specifically devised operational and organisational structure as well as state-of-the-art, computerised CNC machines provide the basis for this manufacture that sets a new standard worldwide; processing, preparation and precision live up to the highest demands for every instrument. In addition, only European tonewood is being used, ensuring outstanding sound characteristics in its quality.
