The tradition of our family business began in 1890, when master luthier Alois Kollitz started producing violins and working up tone woods in Rothau (Sudetenland).
In the 1930s his sons, the brothers Franz and Josef Kollitz, added the production of banjos and ukuleles.
After WWII the company was built up again in Eltersdorf near Erlangen. Since then, thousands of ukuleles bear the brand name "Brüko" (for "Brüder Kollitz" = "Kollitz brothers").
Instruments like our model No. 6 have become classics with a distinctive design.
Our company moved to Kitzingen in 1990. We only use selected solid tone woods.
All steps of production - from cutting, bending, sanding right up to the finishing - are made within our company!
For many decades, Brüko has been making not only soprano instruments, but also concert, tenor and baritone ukuleles.
In addition to ukuleles, our product spectrum includes octave guitars made with the same quality standards as our ukuleles. We also produce premium sound posts for stringed instruments out of carefully selected spruce.
In many European countries and beyond, Brüko ukuleles are instruments of distinguished reputation.
