Intermediate

Violins

Intermediate Level (up to $2,000)

A step up from the Paganini is the Bouvier Line of instruments. They are perfect for the more advanced player, i.e. high school students or more advanced younger students. The Bouvier instruments are carved from higher quality woods, boast a gorgeous, highly flamed, one-piece back, and a deep, rich, mellow tone. In the Bouvier line we feature Guarneri violin and viola models, Stradivari and Montagnana models are available in cellos. As a retail violin shop, we realize there are many different tastes among customers. To satisfy the widest variety possible, we now offer other lines of student instruments such as the "Pygmalius" and "Eastman" lines among others.

See below for violins from $2-$5,000.
