Backes Violins

Handmade in Denver, Colorado

Violins

Handmade, one at a time. My violins have a unique sound that is inspired and informed by what I like to hear when I'm playing.

Strobel

Built from a classic pattern from the workshop of Henry Strobel, this model has a generous body, resulting in a rich lower end. Growly with fantastic projection.

Model 2

Based on an antique instrument of unknown origin, this is my first attempt at branching out from my original design. Model 2 has a rich, resonant low end, with lots of overtones coming through.
