Our Giuseppe Renaldi "Vintage" violin, viola, cello and bass are affordable handmade instruments for the advancing player. These instruments are beautifully handmade in the Italian tradition using well-seasoned spruce and maple. Each instrument is individually hand-varnished with a soft, lustrous oil varnish, using a technique designed to give the perception of age.

At first glance, the charm of this "vintage" look immediately draws customers to inquire as to the tone. Players find the tone to be rich, colorful and consistent throughout the entire range. These instruments have excellent projection, yet blend well in chamber music settings.

The price shown above includes a top quality German-made Brazilwood bow and a Crescent style suspension case with velour interior, hygrometer, water bottle, hidden string tube, zipper music pocket, shoulder rest hold down, shoulder strap and locking latch.

Fractional sizes are also available at $895 for 3/4 & 1/2, and $795 for 1/4 size. Case descriptions may vary for these models.
