Valiet Microfiber Suede

VALIET  Microfiber Suede – Musical Instruments Care

VALIET high-end microfiber suede has been adapted for the dry cleaning of objects formed by very delicate and sensitive surfaces such as wooden and metal musical instruments. Thanks to its smooth, soft surface and velvet touch, VALIET absorbs dust and contributes to optimal cleaning without causing scratches.

With an format of 32 x 49cm in graphite gray color, VALIET suede is made with the most delicate microfibers (80% Polyester – 20% Polyamide – 200g / m2) that act mechanically to eliminate dirt particles.

VALIET is a recyclable product, cut, stamped, made and handled by hand that offers a very low tendency to fluff. VALIET suedes are sustainable since they are manufactured with 100% renewable energy, free of substances that are harmful to people and the environment according to Oeko-Tex’s Standard 100 Class I certificate. Compared to the manufacture of a cotton suede, the VALIET microfiber suede represents a reduction of: 76% CO2- 58% Energy – 55% water – 40% soap and 70% volume.

When the microfiber particles are saturated with dirt, VALIET will gradually lose its cleaning properties. With a simple wash without softener (30ºC to 60ºC), VALIET suede will regain all its initial cleaning properties.

VALIET is the ideal complement to LICQUA Natural Cleaner for the care and conservation of musical instruments.

    Dear José María,

    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!

  • Alissa Margulis

    Violin soloist

    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.

  • Giovanni Battista Fabris

    Concertmaster - Orchestra del Teatro Carlo Felice. Genova, Italy

    Dear José María, 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

  • Asier Polo

    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.
