Frequently Asked Questions

The Rubner tradition emphasizes a focus on tonal projection and structural integrity, often using slightly thicker plates and a more conservative arching profile.
The natural resin varnish is durable, but like any hand-lacquered finish, it’s susceptible to cracking with extreme temperature or humidity fluctuations – proper care is essential.
The Rubner offers a slightly warmer, more ‘romantic’ tone compared to the often brighter, more direct sound of Pirastro; Schlötter tends to be more modern in its design and response.
