Spirit varnishin-assortment I, for violin
Complete Varnishing Kit for a Violin
incl. Step-by-Step Instructions
This comprehensive set includes all materials needed for the complete varnishing process of a violin – from staining the raw wood to the final polish. It is designed for anyone looking to finish their instrument independently and with precision – suitable for both beginners and advanced users.
A detailed, practice-proven guide takes you step by step through the entire varnishing process – from wood preparation to a high-gloss finish. The included instructions cover both oil varnish and spirit varnish and explain the specific techniques, drying times, and application tips for each.
✅ Choose the right varnish for your skill level:
We recommend oil varnish for beginners:
Oil varnish dries slowly and allows for even, controlled application. This gives beginners ample time to work carefully and get familiar with the process.
Minor mistakes can be corrected easily. The result is a warm, classic finish with soft depth and glow.
We recommend spirit varnish for advanced users:
Spirit varnish is alcohol-based and dries very quickly, requiring practiced, confident handling.
Those with experience will appreciate its brilliant clarity, vivid color tones, and the traditional recipe used in professional violin making.
Please select your preferred varnish type when ordering – all other materials are tailored accordingly.
