About This Collection
Our violin collection spans contemporary instruments from respected European and Asian makers, vintage French and German workshop violins, and documented fine and rare violins. Every violin is set up in our Bethesda workshop before it reaches the showroom.
Violinists from Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia visit us to compare instruments side by side. We encourage unhurried trials, and many violins can be taken home on approval so you can hear them in your own space and with your own teacher.
