Lenzner Saitenmanufaktur

Before an instrument can make music, something has to vibrate.  And in Erlbach, in Germany’s Vogtland region, they know quite a bit about that.

The area around Markneukirchen has a string-making tradition stretching back more than 250 years. Lenzner Saitenmanufaktur OHG continues this remarkable craft today with experienced specialists and an exceptionally diverse range of musical strings.

Lenzner produces strings for bowed and plucked instruments as well as zithers, harps, lyres, kanteles and hammered dulcimers. The company also manufactures technical strings and custom solutions for instruments and applications where standard simply isn’t good enough.

And that is one of Lenzner’s greatest strengths: making strings for instruments that not everyone makes strings for. Under brands such as Lenzner Musiksaiten and Fisoma, the company produces strings for a wide variety of musical applications. Its range includes the respected “Soloklang” and “Fisoma” zither strings, “Lenzner Supersolo” gut strings for double bass, as well as “Quinton” and “Goldtwistle” strings for violin, viola, cello and double bass.

This kind of range doesn't appear overnight. It comes from experience, knowledge of materials and a craft that has been part of the Vogtland musical tradition for generations.

Because even the finest instrument has one unavoidable problem:
Without the right strings, it stays silent.
