We are proud to offer our customers German, Czech, Hungarian, and Romanian violins from the late 19th and early 20th century that have been restored and re-graduated by some of the best masters of this art in Central Europe.

These instruments feature new bass bars, sound posts, bridges and first-class fittings. Each has also had its original varnish restored to enhance and preserve the maker's original conceptions of color and shadings.

Our German/Czech violins are hand-selected in Bohemia and the border region between Germany and the Czech Republic (as well as in Hungary and Romania). Many have remarkable wood (especially the Bosnian maple), which in some cases surpasses the quality of maple one can acquire today. Our luthiers re-carve the plates to bring these instruments to their maximum potential. They are ideal for professionals wanting a second instrument, or intermediate and advanced students, and are priced between $1,500-2,400. Please inquire about availability.
