Cultural legacy

Four centuries of history.
Italian violin makers in the past used their know-how in the quest of the ideal sound. Today, Le KEMO brings an answer to this quest, thanks to new technologies.

Scientific diagnosis

The search for a means of mass production with a regular sound quality level.
Materials : composites made of carbon fiber and epoxy resin are used for an even tone.

Workshop diagnosis

Understanding the actual mechanism that creates sound via wood.
Historically, the sound board is made of spruce. It is the one thing that stringed instruments have in common.
The neck, which is the place where the hand holds the violin, remains in wood to preserve the feeling of the instrument.
Ribs and back may be replaced by composite materials.

Product improvement

The use of composite material makes possible the creation of a new shape inspired from the inside of the violin.
Ergonomics never reached before.
Mechanical properties of the body optimised.
Lightness.
Better approach in vibration testing of constituent parts.

Revial of cultural legacy

Further research into the musical technologies associated with instrumental pratice.
This technology brings together the new forms of artistic expressions found in the field of the comtemporary music, a reflection of advanced civilisations.
These instruments are fitted with electronical sensitive sensors in the heart of wood to connect high-tech devices.

It is a unique blend of originality and tradition, and gives you the true idea of today's modern music.
