Stradivarius violins are highly coveted and expensive due to their exceptional craftsmanship, rarity, and historical significance. Antonio Stradivari, the maker, perfected the violin's design and construction, producing instruments with unmatched sound quality. Their age (over 300 years old) and the fact that only around 650 of his violins remain contribute to their high value. Additionally, their association with famous musicians and collectors adds to their prestige. read less

Will the wood used to make Violin influence the output of sound coming from Violin?

Hi, I want to learn to play the violin, and I am not sure which violin to go for as a beginner. I don't have any local shop nearby, so I probably would have to order online. Can someone help with which violin I should buy?
You should always go to the store and check out yourself by playing on different acoustic instruments. Even if they look the same, the sound won't! Play by yourself and pick the one you like.
