The Violin: A Study in Contradictions
The Spohr Model 185 ViolinA violin is crafted of about 80 parts, together weighing in at little over one pound. It's a delicate structure that is precisely engineered to withstand nearly 70 pounds of string tension. To the untrained eye, all violins may look alike. To the expert, however, no two instruments are identical.

Today, Lewis instruments are crafted in the same tradition as they were a century ago. We insist upon properly aged premium wood for the most resonant sounding instruments, and still carefully hand adjust each instrument to meet or exceed the critical tolerances established by the Music Educators National Conference, giving each violin, viola, cello and bass that leaves our hands its unique sound and soul.

We call this process "Stradjustment"; a patent, final adjustment procedure that guarantees every Lewis instrument lives up to its fullest potential.
