“A few days ago, I received this beautiful Violin from Vermont Violins. First of all, it’s beautiful, the varnish is gorgeous, the back is my gosh stunning. But most importantly the sound is fantastic. Given the price range, this is an amazing violin. I wish these violins were available when I was a student. Anyone who is looking to invest in a fantastic violin, I highly recommend this.”

— DENNIS KIM, CONCERTMASTER, PACIFIC SYMPHONY, CALIFORNIA

“This violin by V. Richelieu really knocked me out. Its tone is strong but warm and very even throughout the registers, it feels easy to play, and responds well to a variety of styles. Whether you are embarking on your journey as an ambitious violin student or looking for a solid second violin as a professional, it doesn’t get much better than this!”

— RACHEL SEGAL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE PRIMAVERA FUND
