Stringwiki - Projects

Our Vision

Violinwiki is a knowledge base with a single topic - acoustic violin, in other words a violin “wiki”. It is intended to serve as the first and most complete source of information for those interested in learning the violin, violin students, music and violin teachers, musicologists, music historians, luthiers, music researchers, luthiers, archetiers or for those interested in music containing the violin. Violinwiki is available worldwide and is and will forever be available free of charge, in the spirit of wiki.

To fulfill the vision there are the content projects and support projects in various stages of development prepared.
