A good instrument is as unique
as the person who plays it

Searching and finding

The Corilon catalogue helps you find top-tier historic violins, violas and bows –
exclusive and unique pieces we have selected because of their quality, sound
and condition. Our experienced luthiers have applied their solid and expert
craftsmanship in reviewing, restoring and setting up every one of our instruments.

Seeing and hearing

Become thoroughly acquainted with your purchase before you take it home: detailed photos,
audio clips and informative descriptions introduce you to every instrument individually.
We are proud of the multi-facetted range of characters and instrument "personalities" in our catalogue,
and we guarantee the quality and authenticity of every single item.

Playing and trusting

You can spend 30 days getting to know your new instrument – at home, in the orchestera
and in the concert hall. If it does not fulfill your expectations, we will take it back for a full refund.

Growing

If your instrument no longer meets your needs as a performer, you can simply exchange it in trade
for a new one of better quality. Corilon guarantees its trade policy for all violins, violas and bows
we originally sold to you.
