LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR INSTRUMENT →
A musician who became a violin maker
Music came first, the workshop came right after — and honestly, it's the best decision I ever made.
The organ and piano at five, in a small village in Burgundy. Then the viola at sixteen, and that's when things really changed. I wanted to understand how it resonates, how it lives, how it's transformed in a luthier's hands.
Trained at the French Violin Making School in Mirecourt. I've since worked in France and around the world restoring instruments and building new ones for musicians.
Today, from my workshop in Norway, I build and restore violins, violas and cello for players.
If that's you, I genuinely love to hear from you.

Trustpilot reviewsMy violin needed to be fixed in several ways and Lydie Sauzet Luthier did it very good. It is like a new instrument now. The work was also done exactly the days that we had agreed on, even though Lydie discovered that there were more to be done with the violin than we first thought.
Excellent work on a complex violin repair. The craftsmanship is precise, discreet, and fully respectful of my instrument's integrity and sound. Communication was clear and thoughtful throughout the project.
I had two viola bows for service. Very responsive to my request and with an excellent result. Also stretching the level of personal service by delivery at my door. Above my expectations.
Curious? Let's talk.
Whether it's a new commission or a restoration, the first step is just a conversation, no obligation, no pressure, and I always reply myself.
