Our history of sound
Music thrives on talent-and on the choice of Tonewood
KÖLBL European Tonewood GmbH is a family business and manufactures tonewood already in its third generation. Tradition and innovation are equally important – and above all is the value of personal customer relationships.
A finely-tuned, manufacturing process, traditional knowledge and special handling have led us to where we stand today. Ongoing investments in factory buildings and facilities continue to pave the way for the future of tonewood processing.
