<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The counterform “La Stabile” is a classic of our production. Born over 20 years ago from an idea of a Cremonese luthier, it was then redesigned and implemented over time following the many tips of the luthiers who use it.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The basic idea of this simple design is to keep the top or back of the violin tightly in the stops, without damaging the profile. Starting from this concept we have created a mechanics that pushes on the edges diagonally, and not sideways (like all other counterforms in the market) where the grain of the wood is fragile.</span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Solid Finnish birch plywood and other simple but high-quality materials are ideal to ensure that this indispensable tool remains strong and stable over decades, especially for luthiers who use it daily.</span></span></span></p>
