Current Specials 03/2010

A 7/8 cello labeled as a copy of a Guadagnini with a red brown varnish. This 7/8 cello is broad and has a big sound and rich tone. It is perfect for a more petite player or for a student that is in between a 3/4 and full size cello. $6,000

3/4 Violins: several. We sell complete packages, perfect for any student or beginner violinist. Each violin is set up by Rafael Carrabba Violins with a recent clean and polish, new strings, a shoulder rest, and rosin. Each 3/4 violin also comes with a case and bow. When you are ready to graduate to a larger instrument, you can trade in your 3/4 toward the price of the instrument you are interested in. Two of these instruments are of very high quality. The three we are featuring currently are:

  • An unlabeled Hornsteiner 3/4 violin circa 1890 $3,500
  • A labeled Lorenz Neudorf, Bohemia 3/4 violin dated 1927 $3,000
  • A labeled Wilhem Klier 3/4 violin dated 2003 $1,250
