Benning Violins Est. 1953. One of the greatest pleasures fro the Bennings has been the making of new instruments. Initially Paul Toenniges in his lifetime made 50 double bases. Hans & Nancy Benning have collaborated on making over 150 violins,violas, Cellos - Bass Gambas - Tenor Gambas and viola d'amore. This passion for making has reached its third generation and Eric Benning has now made over 60 instruments with many more on the way. Each step of the new making process is done with carefully though out accuracy. The wood chosen is well seasoned Bosnian maple for the back, sides, and scroll, and the top is Bavarian or Bosnian spruce. Most of their wood that is used has been aged for at least 25 years. Years of foresight and many trips to Europe to hand select each piece of wood.Violins Violas - Cellos Bass Gambas - Tenor Gambas - Viola D moreb Accessories: Contemporary French Bows - Old French Bows - English Bows - German Bows - Brazilian Bows - American Bows Strings Cases - Custom Made Restoration Repairs Appraisals Rentals - Consignments
