Student violins and violas do not have to be mass-produced
to be affordable. Please play and compare our new
DANUBE SERIES (made exclusively in Europe for BLUE
DANUBE VIOLINS) with other student-level instruments.
We offer European quality and tradition for less money,
providing you with exceptional value.
All the below models feature outstanding Czech and
Bulgarian craftsmanship combined with the best wood,
materials and accessories from German and other suppliers.
They also feature spruce tops, corners, and blocks;
maple backs, sides, and necks; ebony fingerboards,
pegs, tailpieces and endpins; maple purfling; and
lime tree linings.
There is a good deal of evidence the Italian makers
from the Classical period used wood from the central
and eastern European regions of Europe. This wood
is also preferred today by the best luthiers. Here
is a quote from The Secrets of Stradivari by Simone
F. Saconi: “…the preferential choice of
Stradivari fell on maple, among the different varieties
of this wood, on the maple of the Balkans (acer pseudo
platanus) because it is harder, lighter and more responsive
in returning sound than our locally grown variety.”
