Welcome to Patera Violins – Fine Instruments in Hildesheim

Hi, I’m Nando Patera, and my passion is fine string instruments. Violins are at the heart of my work, and I’d love to take you on a little journey through my world of exceptional instruments.

At my shop, you’ll find a carefully selected collection of certified violins, violas, cellos, and bows, crafted by some of the greatest historical violin makers as well as high-quality modern instruments. Whether you’re a musician, collector, or investor, I’m happy to help you find the perfect match.

Come by and Let’s Talk Violins!

You’re always very welcome to visit my showroom! I enjoy taking the time to discuss all things strings—whether it’s finding the right instrument, talking about sound, setup, or even the history of violin making.

Since I want to make sure I have enough time for you, please give me a quick call or send an email before stopping by so we can arrange an appointment.

I speak English, German, and Italian, so we can chat in the language you’re most comfortable with.

A Wide Selection – From Old Masters to Modern Excellence

My collection includes fine antique violins, violas, and cellos from renowned master makers as well as outstanding contemporary instruments, covering a wide price range to suit both professionals and students.

I’d love to meet you in person, show you some beautiful instruments, and help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

Best,
Nando Patera
