3rd and last day at the we started with a brioche cioccolato and latte macchiato. You’ll find us in hall 2, booth 338.

First day of the fair was a nice and busy. Clearly people have the new material solutions interesting and they’re willing to explore.

So we are all set for you at ! You can find us from the booth 338 in hall 2.

Last month we did a trip to Munich, Germany for piloting. We got some precious feedback on our ebony substitute material PARBONY from the violin makers of the area.

What a beautiful view from the work bench, don’t you agree.

Partones PARBONY, an ebony substitute material, at its different stages: block, blank, and fingerboard.

Today we celebrated St. Nicholas Eve (Nikolas Abend) with traditional ”weckmänner”. One of the buns got the shape of the Partones tree.

Sustainability in the string-playing world is an issue that needs solving. Thank you Strings Magazine for bringing up the matter.

We at Partones have our hands on this! The third generation of our materials with improved workability are tested this autumn. Fingers crossed! 🤞
