Our History

The Warther family of Dover, Ohio has been a family of artisans since 1902 when Ernest Warther began a family business of knife making and carving.

Today our violin and guitar parts of brass,steel, and advanced polymers are being used by Original Equipment Manufacturers around the world. We sell these same high quality parts to smaller builders and re-builders of instruments as well as to individual luthiers and craftsmen. These same high quality parts are available on this website with no minimum order requirement and with a low fixed shipping cost per order regardless of order size when being sent to a US address.
