Old and New Workshop and Master European violins

After years of searching and testing, we have refined our selection to what we feel are the best of what Europe’s master violin makers and violin workshops currently offer — from student and inexpensive violins to master violins new and old. Here you will find a complete selection of quality European violins, with our “Danube series” made expressly for us by outstanding European workshops.

The violin I am currently playing was purchased from Blue Danube Violins back in 2021 and was custom-made for my needs. I am very happy with my violin as it produces a well-balanced sound on the lower and higher ends of the spectrum, enabling it to carry through larger halls. Matching a bow with a violin can be challenging. However, Blue Danube Violins, with much dedication, helped me find the right bow.

I’m incredibly happy with the Tomas Pospichal viola that I bought at Blue Danube Violins.  I very much appreciated the wide selection of violas and the personal attention I received at Blue Danube, allowing me to find exactly the instrument I was looking for.  I highly recommend them!

I got the Neva case. I am very satisfied with it. Thank you for good service.

I bought a 3/4 violin for my daughter. This is a great team, absolutely professional and quick: they answered all of my emails within 2-3 hours. The violin was shipped to us in France very well-packed and protected. I will for sure buy again from Blue Danube Violins in the future; they offer great prices, quick service and worldwide shipping at inexpensive prices.

My student really likes the violin. Thank you very much. If I have a chance, I’ll stop by the violin shop again. I hope you are always full of happy things 🙂
Thank you for all your help in buying this case, I really appreciate it. And definitely, I will spread the word about your professional customer service.

Blue Danube Violins is always my first shop stop for performing and teaching needs. The owners are friendly, honest, and eager to help. Multiple students of mine have happily found their new instrument at Blue Danube.

We just wanted to let you know that we received the bow. It’s beautiful, thank you so much.  We appreciate the great service!
