Mathias Neüner – Violin Maker

Mathias Neüner (1762–1832) was a prominent figure in the Mittenwald violin-making tradition, hailing from a lineage of esteemed luthiers. Son of Johann Neuner, Mathias established a prolific workshop that significantly contributed to the 19th-century German violin industry. His instruments, often modeled after Stainer with high arching and distinctive varnish, were widely exported across Europe. The Neüner family later partnered with the Hornsteiner family, forming the renowned firm Neuner & Hornsteiner, which became a cornerstone of Mittenwald's violin-making heritage.

Professional Set-Up

At Bridge Street Violins, we offer a comprehensive professional setup that goes above and beyond the basic factory setup provided by most other shops. Each violin is carefully adjusted by our expert luthier to ensure optimal sound and playability. Depending on the instrument, this setup may include:

  • Peg adjustment

  • Fingerboard resurfacing (if necessary)

  • Top nut adjustment

  • Sound post and bridge fitting

  • String height adjustments

  • Tailored settings for enhanced playing comfort

This service ensures your violin is fully prepared for high-quality performance, tailored to your individual needs. It’s a level of care that sets us apart from other retailers who typically offer a basic factory setup.

Violin Care Tips

To keep your violin in great condition and ensure it maintains its best sound, we recommend the following care tips:

  • Storage: Always store your violin in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity, as these can affect the wood.

  • Cleaning: Clean your violin regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and rosin build-up. Be careful not to touch the varnish with your fingers.

  • String Care: Check your strings for wear and replace them when necessary. Avoid over-tightening the strings, as this can cause unnecessary stress on the instrument.

  • Bow Maintenance: Loosen the bow hair after playing and wipe the stick with a dry, soft cloth to remove rosin dust, preventing build-up and protecting the finish.
