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.

    Principal violist - Teatro San Carlo. Napoli, Italy

    Dear José María, I wish to share with you the satisfaction I feel to play my Mario Capicchioni viola with the FASTER Titanium on it.

    The sound, which was already good before, has utterly improved in quality and power, with many more harmonics. The sound of the instrument has gained bright and timbre sweetness, thanks to the sound range amplitude.

    I appreciate your great work very much. My most sincere congratulations!

    With affection and admiration.

  • Massimo Polidori

    Principal cellist - Orchestra del Teatro dalla Scala. Milano, Italy

    The FASTER Artica Titanium Cello Endpin, designed and constructed by José María Lozano, has utterly outstanding features.

    My first impression was the ease of sound production (strings vibrate unrestrainedly), and the spectacular sound quality. That is because of a tangible increase in harmonics produced by the cello, which undoubtedly gains volume and brightness in its sound, both in low and high ranges.

    Never before had I come across an endpin that could improve the sound parameters of an instrument.

    May my testimonial persuade other cellists to acquire one of these magical endpins. I herein thank maestro luthier Lozano, who passionate towards and skillful with nowadays technology, contributes to improving the sound of instruments existing for over three centuries, proving that the past and the future can work in harmony.

    Maestro José María Lozano has got to revolutionize sound with his innovating FASTER system of endpins and stoppers, not just by boosting it up, but also by improving its quality, reaching levels of excellence.

  • Ernest Braucher

    Principal violist - Orchestra del Teatro Carlo Felice. Genova, Italy

    I was introduced to the FASTER world by Giovanni Fabris, the concertmaster of our orchestra. I must say that, as soon as we fitted it to the instrument, I noticed an immediate change. The A string became sweeter, and the C string had a fuller sound. The instrument’s response is generally better in all positions.

    However, the FASTER Titanium makes a real difference when you want to play piano and pianissimo because the strings, especially the low ones, go into vibration much easier. All my fellow players who have tried it are just as happy.

    Thank you very much for this invention.

    Bravo, José María! I never thought that the FASTER Artica 600 Titanium cello endpin could change, free, and project the sound of a cello to such a large extent.

    You made it! Congratulations!

  • Antonio Torres

    Double bass professor - Córdoba, Spain

    It is an outstanding contribution to the world of the double bass. After having tried the FASTER endpins and BELTON stoppers by José María Lozano in various concert halls and auditoriums, the summing-up cannot be better.

    The sound quality improves by optimizing the harmonics as well as their projection. My feeling is that of more comfort at playing, which strengthens my self-confidence.

    Congratulations!

  • Ander Perrino

    Principal double bassist - Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester. Berlin, Germany

    Artica 500 Titanium cello endpin by maestro José María Lozano has increased the resonance and harmonics in my double bass. The sound spreads itself more naturally, and playing feels easier. Bravo!
