Glues
Glue – High-Quality Adhesives for String Instrument Making and Repair
Every master luthier knows that the strength and integrity of a string instrument begins with the right glue. From building a violin neck to repairing a cello rib, the adhesive must offer precision, reversibility, and acoustic sensitivity. Our range of glues includes traditional hide glue, bone glue, and modern synthetic options – all chosen for use in professional workshops.
Whether you're assembling new instruments, performing delicate restorations, or addressing cracks and seams, we provide adhesives that bond reliably while preserving the natural resonance of wood. Our hide glues are available in different grain sizes and strengths, suitable for top plates, fingerboards, purfling, and more.
Trust Elit Music – with 30+ years of experience – to supply the adhesives relied upon by luthiers across Europe.
