W-fittings

Since 2016, Wilhelm-Geigenbau has been producing accessories made from densified wood and is now passing on its expertise to SWS.

In 10 years, Wilhelm-Geigenbau has produced thousands of tailpieces, fingerboards and chin rests, reaching an ever-growing customer base. Instruments assembled with our fingerboards from three violin workshops won gold and silver medals at the 2022 VSA competition!

The steadily increasing demand has made it necessary to scale up production and sales. Swiss Wood Solutions, the manufacturer of Sonowood is now becoming a producer of molded components for sustainable musical instrument construction, replacing W-fittings as a supplier.

Boris Haug from Wilhelm Geigenbau will be joining Swiss Wood Solutions to oversee further development.

Wilhelm-Geigenbau continues to produce for its own use and, in cooperation with violin makers and many musicians, continues to research how sound and playability can be shaped and enhanced with fine accessories.
Our milling machines are increasingly being used for restoration. Together with a high-quality scanner, we are constantly finding new ways to gently repair old instruments.
