Welcome to IESTA! since 1996

Time difference between Karlsruhe and Beijing?

This is not a problem!  

Our German-Chinese company IESTA Musical Instruments is already looking back on fifteen years of successful development, making and worldwide distribution of high quality stringed instruments. The company, based in Karlsruhe, Germany, since 1996, has established a sister company in Tianzhu business quarter Beijing (Peking) in 2001, which is also the location of the company's first own workshop. Since that time a couple of excellent Chinese instrument makers are traditionally manufacturing modern stringed instruments upon historical European examples and baroque instruments in various models. Furthermore, the company is a pioneer in the development of new technologies for the production of carbon bows.

the workshop is 30km from capital airport BJ

At IESTA, both production and distribution come from one source. The instruments produced in smaller series or as custom-built individual pieces are sold in Asia and in the Pacific area from China directly. Clients in Germany, in Europe and abroad are served by the Head office in Karlsruhe. Here exists a well-appointed warehouse - also for bows, accessories and instruments made by other producers. more...
