The Arcata violin manufactory was founded in collaboration with the talented master luthier Rafael Aroyev and is located in St. Petersburg. The company is engaged in both factory and craft production of stringed musical instruments. The manufacturing process utilizes both traditional and modern technologies, drawing on classical experience and the latest trends. In collaboration with professional musicians and teachers, we create musical instruments capable of meeting the needs of the broadest audience. Before the creation of each instrument, all materials and components used in production undergo multi-stage quality control. Every Arcata instrument is assembled and tuned by hand. As a result, both young musicians and professionals receive a high-quality, responsive instrument with rich tonal coloring. The design features of Arcata instruments allow for prolonged practice without fatigue, making them ideal for developing fundamental sound production techniques and performance skills.
