Three Towns One of the most important areas for the production of musical instruments in the world is the area in and around Kraslice in the now Czech Republic. A violin maker’s guild was established there in 1669, and was the start of over 300 years of musical instrument making tradition in Kraslice. From that date on, production of musical instruments of all types flourished in the area. Prior to Czechoslovakian independence in 1919, the region was a German speaking area of North West Bohemia. From 1526, Bohemia was a province of the Hapsburg Empire, (also known after 1867 as the Austro-Hungarian Empire). The Empire had 50,000,000 citizens with its capital Vienna and a vibrant musical tradition. Detox Program Created By Dr. Walter Crinnion.

There was as well a corresponding great number of symphony orchestras, concert bands, military bands, ensembles, all requiring quality instruments. These three towns supplied the vast majority of violins, violas, cellos and other string instruments as well as percussion, brasswind and woodwind instruments for the Empire and all of Europe. Graslitz was the German name of this small town located in the border region of what is referred to the Sudetenland. This area always had very close ties with the German province of Saxony just over the border. In fact the Kingdom of Saxony was a military ally of the Austro- Hungarian Empire prior to the unification of the German states in 1871.

Just across the border in Saxony, 10 kilometres by foot, is the town of Klingenthal. Klingenthal is also noted for musical instrument production. Yearly in May, there is an International Accordion Competition held in Klingenthal.
