Review Videos

Made in one of our award-winning workshops, this Holstein violin is inspired by the original Guarneri 'Del Gesu' violin made in 1740. This instrument is bench made, which means that it was made individually by one of our master luthiers from start to finish.

The quality and dimensions of the wood is copied from the original (as well as the varnish), to achieve the same tonal qualities of the priceless Guarneri from 1740. The original was played by Ferdinand David, and in 1922, Jascha Heifetz acquired the violin. He played this violin, his favorite violin, for 65 years!

  • Structure: Top made of highest quality Italian spruce, and back of Bosnian maple
  • Varnish: Antiqued Italian oil varnish
  • Fittings: Boxwood
  • Bridge: Hand-carved professional level Despiau 3-tree or Holstein Deluxe Bridge
  • Strings: Musician's or maker's choice. We select and match the strings carefully to bring the most out of each individual instrument. For any string preference, please contact us or add a comment to your order.

When you buy this violin, it comes with a quality oblong case.

Holstein instruments go through Fiddlershop's quality control and adjustment process. We take every measure to make each instrument sounds its best. They are also covered by Fiddlershop's Lifetime Structural Warranty and this includes lifetime free adjustments.
