Children's violins

Children's violins have a dubious reputation, especially since they represent the screeching and squeaking of almost every violin player's early years. Many parents and young players are not aware of the quality of old small-sized instruments, a desirable alternative to a new factory instrument. Our online catalogue presents rare old German, French and Italian small-sized and 7/8 size violins at fair and reasonable prices. Discover a surprising better sound quality that will please both the player and the audience. What is more, children and youths will be inspired by the charm of a historical children's violin. Search our website for instruments of a special size by typing e. g. "3/4" into the search box at the top left of this page.
