The Technology
What is Strad Plus?
A proprietary method that enhances the way wood resonates, responds, and transmits vibration.
01 — The Beginning
Inspired by Stradivari.
For three centuries, the instruments of Antonio Stradivari have been the reference for what a violin can sound like. Strad Plus began with a persistent ambition: to understand and recreate the extraordinary acoustic qualities that made those instruments legendary.
Violinist, craftsman and researcher Nguyễn Xuân Huy devoted more than thirty years to that question, researching, testing and refining his ideas before ultimately developing Strad Plus.
02 — The Discovery
The acoustic DNA of wood.
- 1
Every piece of wood possesses unique acoustic characteristics.
- 2
Strad Plus identifies and works with these characteristics to modify the way vibration travels through the material.
03 — How It Works
Working with the wood, not against it.
Rather than adding material or modifying the structure of an instrument, Strad Plus works by applying a proprietary acoustic process to specific points within the wood.
Nothing added
No material is added to the wood.
Structure untouched
The construction of the instrument is not modified.
Specific points
A proprietary acoustic process is applied to specific points within the wood.
04 — What It Changes
What it changes.
What players and listeners notice once the wood has been treated.
Resonance
The wood vibrates more freely, giving a fuller, richer sound.
Responsiveness
The instrument answers the player sooner and more directly.
Clarity & balance
A blended sound that still keeps a clear separation between voices.
Immediacy
The change is heard within minutes, not after years of playing.
05 — Fields of Application
One Technology, Endless Possibilities
Wherever wood matters, Strad Plus makes a difference.
01
Musical Instruments
Bring out the instrument's true voice without years of waiting.
Strad Plus lets an instrument sound blended and yet clearly separated between its strings, with a clean, clear tone. It is a new step for makers, particularly of instruments built from wood.
From string instruments and pianos to any wooden musical instrument.
02
Interiors & Architecture
Unlock better acoustic performance wherever wood shapes the listening experience.
Wooden furniture such as speaker cabinets, tables and wardrobes, and large spaces such as churches, recording studios, opera houses and conference centres, can all be shaped by Strad Plus. The result is a new quality in daily life, work and entertainment.
From speaker cabinets and furniture to studios, churches, opera houses, conference centres, and beyond.
03
Professional Sport
Strengthen the connection between athlete and equipment.
Applied to professional playing surfaces and equipment, the technology noticeably improves the sensation of bounce, impact and the vibration that travels from the equipment to the hand. That precision in every touch helps athletes get the most from their performance.
From billiard cues, table tennis rackets and bowling lanes to any sporting equipment where wood influences performance.
