  • With over 30 years of violin-making experience and our own violin shop, we are able to offer better quality instruments at the same price. All violins are made by our own workshop and carefully prepared before shipping. Violin bows and custom work are also our specialties. If you are looking for specific features or personalized options, we are happy to create them for you.
  • All of our violins are made from solid spruce and maple, the best woods for violin making. Solid wood instruments generally produce a richer tone and respond more naturally than laminated ones, making them ideal for students developing proper technique and sound.
  • Some very cheap violins online are mass-produced using low-quality laminated wood and are rarely professionally set up. Some are even called VSO (violin-shaped objects), meaning they look like violins but are not suitable for proper playing. They can be popular on certain shopping platforms. This doesn’t mean these violins are “bad,” but if you plan to practice for the long term, it’s best to choose a real instrument.
