What we create
Guitars
Ukuleles
100 years of European traditions in luthiery
Kremona guitars and ukuleles are the product of Bulgaria's venerable Kremona lutherie. The workshop was established in 1924 and has created models relied upon by musicians throughout the world. Recognized for superb build quality and expansive tone, Kremona musical instruments are one of the industry's astonishing values. The expanded North American distribution allows you to discover this tranditional European handcraft today.
Why Choose Kremona
Rich history
Our founder mastered his craft in Markenukirchen, a centuries-old luthier town. This village was the center of German musical instrument making, with dozens of violin and guitar builders. Christian Frederick Martin, the founder of C.F. Martin Guitars, was born there and built his first guitars there. Nearly a century of experience later, our workshop continues the attention to detail of the hand-built process.
100% Build in Europe
Building by hand in the European tradition, Kremona has no outsourcing, with all the components put together in the same workshop. Our team finds only the very finest tonewoods available for the expert luthiers to craft these beautiful instruments.
Premium quality
Kremona USA offers a 50-point in-house inspection and adjustment perfomed before shipment. Whether the instrument goes to a store or direct to the musician, it comes perfectly setup, maintained, and prepared for playing and performance.
Modern improvements
Our long legacy or handcrafted lutherie doesn’t mean we are stuck in the past. We are continually adopting and devising new technologies, techniques, tools, machines, and other innovations. While we stay true to our hand-built roots, our luthiers have every contemporary solution required for building the best instruments for modern guitarists.
Great Value
Compare a handcrafted Kremona to boutique brands or luthier-custom made instruments, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the high quality brought to an instrument with a budget-friendly price.
Perfect Climate and Humidity
Located in the heart of the Balkan Mountains and the scenic Rose Valley, our workshop benefits from a mild climate and consistent optimal humidity—perfect conditions for crafting durable, high-quality guitars.
