Rufini Fine Instruments

with Master Benoit Cordonnier in his Paris atelier. In 2007 he opens his own workshop where he mainly builds violins, violas, acoustic and classical guitars, electric basses. He works following the classical techniques exclusively, which he also applies to create baroque and pre aged instruments. CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTS
I hand craft my instruments by strictly following the classical school technques; That allows me to tailor - make my creations to fulfill the client's needs in terms of setup and sound. I only use the finest woods and materials. The following options are available for my classical builds:

New Instrument: Even paint job on the whole surface, immaculate appearance. Pre Aged: Age - yellowed components, uneven dye, worn out details. Baroque: style - coherent setup, gut strings, carved bridge, fretboard and tailpiece. The finish can be both new or pre aged. All the options can be applied to all the intrument families: violins, violas, cellos and guitars. ELECTRIC INSTRUMENTS
Along with my classical builds I take pride in crafting the finest electric instruments. My goal is to apply classical lutherie's principles about sound and aesthetic to my modern instruments. My experience in the classical field tells me every instrument has an inherent voice, so I hand craft them one by one without the use of CNC machines, so i can guarantee the highest quality and sound projection. My production is divided in series. Every series has its own style and individual sonic character.
