All violins are different. Price, appearance, origin, and age of an instrument are not reliable indicators of its quality for a player.

​

All that matters for us are the sound, playability, and condition of the violin. What usually set the great luthiers apart from other violinmakers are the consistency in quality and workmanship. Even experienced luthiers such as Jens Stenz says that some of violins he makes are really terrific, and some are frankly terrible.

​

All of the violins we sell have a stronger core sound to resonance ratio. Violins that are the opposite will sound hollow and harsh.

​

We highly recommending trying as many violins as you can in blind tests. Trying out violins above and below your budget from different shops and players will tell you what qualities you would want in you ideal violin.
