01About KG

An Australian maker and supplier since 1995.

KG Instruments International is an Australian company that specialises in the manufacture and supply of orchestral stringed instruments, bows, accessories and tools. Established in 1995, it has been catering to both Australian and overseas markets for more than 30 years.

All instruments are produced by highly skilled craftsmen who have been trained with traditional European methods. A large stock of seasoned tonewood enables KG to make their instruments to a uniformly high standard, while still maintaining a reliable supply.

Many of our customers are leading violin makers, both domestically and overseas.
