Knobloch History
How it all started
The origins of Knobloch Strings begins with Jiri Knobloch, a guitarist, luthier, artist and creator of the first Knobloch Actives strings in Germany in 1971. His passion for the guitar and desire to find the perfect sound led him to create Knobloch Actives, high quality strings designed for professional guitarists.
In 2009 Gilles Baudu, a guitarist with the same passion as Jiri, decided to restart the business, move it to the province of Girona (Spain) and put into practice the knowledge he gained from the Maestro. From that moment on, the strings have been manufactured in Spain and distributed worldwide.
Where Music Comes to Life
Thanks to working closely with a large family of artists, luthiers and professionals from the music world, we continue to discover new and better ways to make your guitar sing and come to life.
If it’s true that everything moves with vibrations, we like to think that our work helps the world vibrate more fully through art.
Philosophy and approach
Our vision of sound
Our strings are created by musicians, for musicians.
We see strings as essential tools that bring the guitar to life. Tools that must adapt to different instruments, playing styles and musical situations, never the other way around. This belief guides our constant search for balance between sound, comfort and versatility.
Through continuous collaboration with professional guitarists and luthiers, we explore new ways to refine our products, always with the goal of making the guitar sing more freely and naturally.
This is why we offer an extensive range of strings, thoughtfully developed to meet the real needs of professional guitarists. Because when craftsmanship meets experience, the result is not just sound — it is expression.
Brand values
Our pillars
We believe in music as a form of expression that deserves respect, precision and sensitivity.
Our values are rooted in craftsmanship, collaboration and authenticity. We work hand in hand with musicians, luthiers and professionals from the music world, because we believe that the best strings are born from shared experience and deep understanding.
We value comfort, reliability and accuracy, knowing that a string must respond naturally to the guitarist’s touch and allow complete freedom of expression. Every detail matters, from intonation to feel, because excellence is found in the smallest nuances.
Above all, we value adaptability. Every guitar is unique, and every guitarist has their own voice. Our commitment is to offer solutions that respect this diversity and enhance each instrument’s character.
