Violins under $3,000
Johnson String Instrument has special relationships with some of the top stringed instrument workshops in the world. We regularly travel to observe the working conditions, materials, tools, and craftsmanship of the most talented makers and hand-select the finest of these completely handmade instruments.
These instruments are then meticulously inspected by our luthiers, who perform precision setups to optimize sound quality and playability. Many of these high-quality, shop-made instruments are available in smaller sizes and outfits at substantial savings. Enjoy additional savings on our full selection of high-quality bows and cases when you create your own outfit.
