Description

The tradition of string making for the Mari family was first recorded in Salle, Italy in the 1640s. The “House of Mari” supplied gut strings to legendary violin makers Amati, Cremona & Stradivari. In 1913, brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari left Italy to seek new opportunities in America, settling in NYC where they handmade gut strings in their small apartment. After much success, they opened their first factory in 1914, and soon after started making strings under the brand “La Bella”. La Bella is the oldest continuously family-owned and operated string maker in the world. Every set is manufactured in our facility in New York using a perfect combination of traditional methods and latest technologies to produce a superior string.
