Licqua Natural Cleaner – Varnish
LICQUA NATURAL CLEANER has been formulated from derivatives of vegetable proteins and active principles that are used in the field of high natural cosmetics. Its balanced and innovative 100% natural formula with Ph. 7 shows excellent compatibility with almost all types of varnishes.
Through the hydrolyzate of vegetable proteins, LICQUA NATURAL CLEANER offers, after its application, a very soft texture that helps to properly deep clean with a light and silky final touch and that protects the varnish from the appearance of microorganisms, helping to prevent its gradual degradation.
LICQUA NATURAL CLEANER is made up of a network of lamellar liquid crystals that facilitate the release of active substances on the varnish, prolonging its conservation, beauty and hydration and leaving a wet effect that gives the varnish greater luminosity.
It has been applied on multiple occasions and with magnificent results on classical instruments such as Stradivari, Guarneri family, Bergonzi, Guadagnini, Ruggeri, S. Serafino, Tecchler, Vuillaume, etc. as well as on modern instruments from different schools.
LICQUA NATURAL CLEANER is packaged in an acrylic airless container to prolong its conservation and is presented in containers of 40ml or 1.35 fl.oz. It is a vegan product and can be applied to the varnish of any kind of musical instrument (violins, cellos, bows, guitars, pianos, etc.). It does not contain ingredients or products of animal origin or tested on animals. No silicone, parabens, abrasives, waxes or petroleum derivatives.
It is biodegradable, antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal. Its pleasant and smooth aroma is the result of the synergy of various incorporated active substances.

Dear José MarÃa,
I am incredibly satisfied and surprised by the discovery of your sound enhancement creations. You have taken a different and brave path with your FASTER innovations and the result is amazing.
Harmonics, volume, quality, ease, response, projection and, in short, a barrage of sound with FASTER Artica Cello endpin and BELTON Grafit & Ellic Cello Stoppers. I’ve never tried anything like it, nothing so overwhelming.
This is renewable energy, don’t miss it on your cello!

Dear Jose Maria,
I have installed the FASTER Silver – Violin on my Stradivari and it instantly produced an immediate and amazing effect on the instrument. All potential of the violin in my view goes big step up.
Bravo! -

Dear Jose Maria, I must say that your FASTER is without a doubt the most amazing violin accessory I have ever owned.
On my violin it makes the sound much broader and more complete. I’ve had a pretty big wolf on the G string. With the Faster it’s completely gone.
I installed the FASTER Silver and adjusted the violin at the same time, and since then the sound of my violin has remained constant and unchanged despite travel and seasonal changes.
Thank you very much and congratulations!

I am very grateful, impressed and unexpectedly surprised to have received my violin G.B. Guadagnini back, after great Luthier Mr. Lozano has done a new set up and introduced to me and my violin his incredible invention, the FASTER.
I couldn’t believe during every day violin playing how much it improved and changed the sound to even fuller, more colorful, projecting sound, giving clearance and making sound production easier.
Truly a miracle!
I only can recommend and wish to all fellow string players to have the luck to experience the same.
The FASTER is truly an unbelievable and visionary invention that will become very popular and perhaps inevitable.
Thank you. -

Dear José MarÃa, with FASTER, you have come up with a marvelous invention that has no adverse effects on the health and sound of the instrument.
There is no physical alteration to the instrument since the setup method entails a conical adaptor that makes it unnecessary to modify the end button. Consequently, there is no reason not to try it.
As regards sound, FASTER can enhance the harmonics of any amplitude because its task is to eliminate any conflict between tones. That brings about a large sound flow that comes quickly out of the violin, thus resulting in a more natural and relaxed manner of playing and the elimination of right-arm frictions.
The lack of conflict during the tone production allows us to reach performing speeds that previously demanded effort, with total clarity. Besides, it softens or eliminates wolf tones.
When playing double stops on the A and E strings, Tartini’s third tones are at all times noticeable, and they rarely are.
The feeling of touching the strings with the bow is more pleasant, and you can put up more weight without disrupting the sound. You can increase bow speed without it slipping, and, likewise, achieve longer steady sounds. When you play chords, as in Bach, low tones keep persistently ringing.
The quality of the sound becomes more beautiful. It might seem brighter, but that is an early impression, it is just more fluent and transparent. Besides, had the violin a nasal sound, FASTER gets to transform it.
Try to play double-harmonic passages, and you will notice apparent ease of performance. I had that same feeling when I borrowed a Guarneri del Gesù for a year.
I forgot something important: you can perceive a good amount of sound in the right ear because the sound projection is such that you can hear it from far away.
Bravo, maestro, for your ingenuity, wisdom, and talent in going into the production and quality of sound.
Much appreciated

Cello soloist - Spain
Since I started to use the FASTER Artica 600 Titanium and Silver cello endpins, I have noticed the sound of my cello more round, noble, and generous. They increase sound projection to a large extent, and also the quality of my instrument. Besides, I feel more comfortable at playing, allowing me to produce a malleable sound.
They are undoubtedly the best endpins I have ever had, and I am sure many cellists will feel the same way when they get one.
I am sure it will be my cello’s best ally for many years to come.
