The memory of every instrument.
Workshop software for violin makers.
Violondio remembers what would otherwise live on slips of paper: every job, every instrument, every customer. It stays in the background and shows you what’s due today.
01 · Who it’s for
02 · The workshop
You already have a system
Labels on the instrument, a notebook on the bench, the rest in your head. It works, as long as you’re there and remember.
Violondio does the remembering for you. It doesn’t push itself forward or change how you work at the bench. When you want to know what’s due, you just look.
03 · In the background
In the background, not in the way
Ask, and it knows
What’s in the workshop, what needs finishing today, what’s overdue. One glance is enough.
Every job stays with the instrument
Services, notes and dates are recorded with the instrument. Years later, you still know what was done.
Your customers are kept informed
When you take an instrument in and when it’s ready for pickup, your customer gets an email. Fewer calls asking “Is it done yet?”
Requests come to you
Musicians send reservation and appointment requests straight to your workshop. You decide when to reply.
04 · How it works
How it works in your workshop
Taking in
Customer, instrument and what needs doing, captured in three steps. Or scan the musician’s check-in code.
At the bench
Every open job with the date it should be ready by. Anything overdue stands out straight away.
Handing over
Hand over what’s finished. The work stays in the instrument’s history.
05 · Instrument passport
What a paper label can’t do
An instrument lives for three hundred years. A notebook, maybe ten.
Whoever opens the instrument after you finds, with luck, a paper label. Usually nothing. With Violondio your workshop issues a digital instrument passport: maker, origin, year and the work done — digitally signed and versioned. The owner can add it to their own account.
- Issued by the workshop
- Digitally signed and versioned
- Public verification page via QR code
- PDF for printing

07 · Beta
Honest about where we stand
Violondio is new and will launch officially soon. As one of the first workshops, you get access now, free and without obligation. We’re developing Violondio together with these workshops. Whatever you’re missing goes on our list.
What does beta mean?
- Violondio works, but it isn’t finished. Features will be added and changed.
- You may run into rough edges. Tell us, every report helps.
- During the beta, Violondio is free and non-binding: no contract, no payment details.
- Your feedback decides what gets built next.
We’re looking for active testers
Workshops and musicians who use Violondio day to day and tell us honestly what’s missing. Come and talk to me at Cremona Musica, or get started right away.
