A Sofia "Amadeus" violin is an ideal instrument for an advancing player who desires a mature tone, similar to that of an older instrument.   Each violin is crafted by the individual whose name appears on the label.   Every detail, from the finely carved scroll to the lustrous oil varnish, exemplifies the precision and artistry that is applied to the craftsmanship of each instrument. Sofia violins are exceptional in tone quality, balance and responsiveness.   These instruments have a core of sound necessary for tonal projection in the concert hall, yet they blend well in chamber and symphony orchestra settings.

What distinguishes the Sofia violin from other comparably priced instruments?  The wood from which each violin is made is selected and cut from the Southern Balkan and Rodopi Mountains, the same wood preferred by makers from the time of Amati and Stradivari for its exceptional tonal properties.  The top and back of each instrument is carefully graduated to the proper thicknesses and the bass-bar is strategically fitted to ensure a well-focussed, evenly balanced tone.  The careful workmanship of experienced luthiers is your assurance of a well-crafted instrument with a superb tone to be enjoyed for years to come.
