In Copenhagen

In 2000, the magnificent violin studio Ulf opened in the heart of Copenhagen. Ulf Eriksson says:

Finding and trying instruments can be frustrating and time consuming. I know this from my own experience as a professional violinist. If you are looking for a new instrument why not try getting in touch with me and gaining from my own experience?

Yann likes to visit Ulf several times a year, as this allows him to look after the violins and violas he has sold in Scandinavia. He believes it’s really important to take time to adjust or change sound posts and bridges, as this is crucial to the sound production of his instruments.
