Jacob von der Lippe

Being one of Norway's most prominent and acknowledged violinmakers, Jacob von der Lippe has been building instruments for musicians at home and abroad since 1998.

Jacob's instruments are coming out of the tradition of the Italian masters. He trained at the "Istituto Professionale Internazionale per l'Artigianato Liutario e del Legno 'A. Stradivari' " in Cremona, Italy.

Jacob von der Lippe's instruments have a sound focusing upon warmth, projection and richness in overtones. On a regular basis he lectures on violin making and maintenance of instruments at several Norwegian schools of music and at music festivals. As the first Norwegian ever, Jacob was accepted as a member of the Entente Internationale des Luthiers et Archetiers in 2011.
