I. HIGH-CLASS SOUND OF A MASTER CRAFTSMAN

We have been acknowledged by both domestic and international musicians as providers of instruments of "reliable quality at optimal prices." 
Hagen breathes top-class sound and value into your instrument, and is highly regarded by musicians as creator of the world’s finest chordophones. Each piece is a work of art that holds the soul of a true master craftsman; a luxurious vessel that brings out the performer’s full potential. All you need is a Hagen string instrument to play music that touches the heart.

 

 

II. TOP QUALITY WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGIES

 

All Hagen instruments are traditionally handmade from Italian/Bosnian spruce and German/Italian maple wood that has been air-dried for at least ten to thirty years.
Our exclusive scientific technologies, developed over a course of decades, create rich and clear sound without the typical coarseness found in brand new instruments.

Our exterior varnish incorporates environmentally friendly and natural materials imported from France, and is applied with traditional hand brush varnishing techniques from Germany and Italy.
Fusing cutting-edge technologies with the best wood available, Atelier Hagen produces world-class instruments that bear comparison with their European counterparts.


Every single instrument has passed strict and rigorous inspections via state-of-the-art equipment, granting musicians only the best of quality.
