What are the benefits of a contemporary instrument?

High-quality contemporary Italian violins offer many benefits over antiques.
They are in perfect condition, so there is no need for restoration work. They are also easier to maintain, cheaper to insure and more reliable across different climates and storage conditions.

Additionally, there are many benefits to having a relationship with a living maker - from lifetime maintenance to guaranteed authenticity. This is important, as it ensures the quality of the instrument and protects your investment.

Many musicians are choosing to play on new violins these days and support today's violin making. Not only for their comparatively lower cost but also for the opportunity to acquire a beautiful piece of history! For this reason, new instruments from the best living violin makers are increasingly well-known throughout the world.

Played on by young soloists, chamber musicians and orchestral players, it’s this versatility that is making them universally liked among musicians and collectors.

Do you offer an authenticity guarantee?

When buying a violin, it is important to remember that you are buying more than just an instrument. You are buying a piece of violin making history that can appreciate in value over time.

We at MyLuthier are so confident in the quality of our instruments that we offer a lifetime authenticity guarantee on all new violins, violas and cellos. So if you ever have any problems with your instrument, simply contact us and we will take care of it for you.
We want to make sure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase!
