A Century of Inspired Craftsmanship
Kremona is a European company founded in Kazanlak, Bulgaria, by Dimitar Georgiev in 1924. Recognized for superb build quality and expansive tone, Kremona instruments have been the trusted choice of musicians worldwide for over a century. Handcrafted with precision and passion, these incredible instruments offer unparalleled value in the music world.
Over the last 20 years, Kremona has gained increasing popularity, rivaling the groundbreaking start of the workshop nearly 100 years ago. These handmade instruments feature an old-world tradition that meets world-class production. The current lineup features premium and exotic tonewoods and models from the classics to the contemporary, such as nylon-string crossovers with cutaways and radiused fingerboards, a revolutionary 7-string nylon guitar, beautiful sounding all-solid ukuleles, and fantastic steel-string guitars.

What Makes Kremona Unique
Made in Europe - Nestled in the heart of Europe, our workshop in Kazanluk, Bulgaria enjoys a breathtaking setting. Surrounded by the mountains that lend their name to the Balkans and situated in the Rose Valley, home to the famed Rosa Damascena, this stunning environment infuses our instruments with unique sound and character.
100% Build in House - We take immense pride in our unwavering commitment to crafting our guitars entirely under the same roof. We do not outsource any part of the process. Every component, detail, and element are handcrafted by our skilled luthiers. This strict control and precision ensure the exceptional quality of Kremona guitars, a responsibility we entrusted solely to our highly trained staff.
Handcrafted with Luthier Mastery - Our focus centers on the art of handcrafting our instruments, drawing from our rich history, luthier lineage, and extensive experience. To this day, we use no robotization or mechanization as we believe no machine can replace a well-trained hand and a gentle human touch. Our experienced luthiers dedicate one and a half to two months to craft each guitar. Kremona guitar’s build time is comparable to that of an individual luthier. This approach allows us to meticulously attend to every detail, creating guitars that are not only unique but also possess an extraordinary voice and beauty.
