Violins
A curated selection of fine violins, ranging from master-made instruments to refined workshop examples, sourced from European traditions of instrument making.
About our violins
Our violin collection is structured around four distinct categories, reflecting differences in craftsmanship, origin and intended use. Each category represents a specific position within the tradition of instrument making, from master-level artistry to instruments requiring restoration.
Master violins
Master violins are distinguished by individual authorship, refined craftsmanship and strong artistic identity. These instruments often carry historical or cultural significance and are valued for their tonal depth, character and uniqueness.
Fine workshop violins
Fine workshop violins originate from established ateliers and workshops, where skilled craftsmen work within recognized traditions. They offer a high level of quality and consistency, combining craftsmanship with accessibility for serious musicians.
Workshop violins
Workshop violins are produced within organised workshops following established models and technical standards. They offer reliable construction and practical musical qualities, serving as accessible instruments for study and everyday use.
Contemporary violins
Contemporary violins are created by modern makers, reflecting current approaches to materials, construction and sound. These instruments balance tradition with innovation and often appeal to musicians seeking a contemporary voice within classical craftsmanship.
Violins for restoration
Violins for restoration include instruments that require technical or structural work before reaching their full musical potential. They offer insight into historical construction and provide opportunities for careful restoration within traditional methods.
