Quality Craftsmanship

Contemporary instruments offer performers an exciting option in instrument choices. Contemporary instruments of the highest quality can be much more affordable than older instruments of similar quality. Contemporary violin makers work to further the art of violin making and take great pride in continuing a long tradition of the highest quality of craftsmanship. Each individual instrument is a part of the process of cultivating and enriching violin making today. For the performer, owning a contemporary instrument allows the unique opportunity to mold an instrument with your own personality.
