Discover the Best Violin for Your Musical Journey

Back to Blog
Are you shopping around for a violin but don’t know can’t tell if what you see is the right one for your needs? Where can you find the best violin for you? There are literally hundreds of options available. But if you know what to look for, it should be much easier for you to pick the best one.
We’ve already told you the things to look for when choosing a violin. Now, your chosen selling point should be able to give you a few features for you to choose clearly the best one for you.
Today I’ll be going over five of the most important features you must consider before making your purchase.

1. Violin Overview

Every violin is different. It’s important that you know what you are looking for when buying a violin. Choosing the right violin will be the same as choosing your partner in life.

Confirm its measurements, make sure the model pleases you, as well as its appearance. Rely on websites that can provide you high-quality definition images, videos, and audio recordings to make sure it will look exactly like when you hold it in your hands.

2. The importance of finding the right luthier

When purchasing an instrument, the most important aspect of the process is putting your trust in your luthier. The luthier is who will build and ultimately be responsible for your own masterpiece.

When you find a luthier that you are comfortable with, it can be a rewarding journey and experience. A violin will not only be your partner for life, but a piece of art with all the emotions, feelings, and uniqueness of its maker printed on it.

The best way to start is by finding out what they are good at and the types of instruments that they mainly focus on building. It’s important to find a luthier that has experience with making the type of instrument that you want to buy. This is because making styles can vary wildly from one luthier to another, especially when it comes to their preferred design sensibilities and aesthetics.

To have a place where you know and discover more about the path of the artist behind your partner for life, can be gratifying.

3. Sound Quality

Another very important factor you need to consider when choosing your violin is the sound. There is one thing that you should remember above all else about playing the violin: music is all about the sound it produces. An instrument of any kind needs to deliver top-quality sound for the musician to be happy with his or her purchase.

The internet offers access to an infinite amount of resources and info, but having a well-done recording with high quality can be crucial for you to be able to experience all of the overtones, harmonics, tone quality, and projection of the instrument.

4. Comparison possibilities

Being a violinist for a number of years makes you interested in hearing the different sounds of instruments. When you see violin sound comparison videos on YouTube, you will be amazed to learn that different violins can produce various sound qualities.

However, listening to your chosen options sequentially without disruption is critical for you to not lose the reference of the others. It is needed to make a fair and reasonable choice.

5. Tranquillity and confidence

While the internet has allowed shopping to become achievable to anyone around the globe, there are still risks that you should know when shopping for the best violin online. First and foremost the website must give you tranquility and confidence while buying your violin. It is important to have highly qualified experts on hand to help & advise you. Nonetheless, be aware of the shipping, refunds, and returns policies, which should facilitate your journey to find the perfect violin. Find someone who will provide you a differentiated virtual experience in an online world.
