All the master instruments from the Akord Kvint workshop are made from the best aged wood – Alpine resonance spruce and beautifully flamed Bosnian maple. Master luthiers Jan Fronk, Jan Lorenz, Lubos Deraha, and Josef Holpuch build their instruments individually, using the traditional proceedings and working in the Stradivarius and Guarnerius styles. Their instruments are not only outstanding as for the tone and aesthetic, but thanks to the fact that their value increases with aging, their purchase is a good investment of money as well. The tone qualities of each instrument are tested by members of the Dvořák Quartet and the professors of the Prague Conservatory. Each master instrument is supplemented by a certificate signed by the master luthier who built it.
