On the list this season…

From students to professionals, all violinists need to change their strings once a year. Violin string sets make a perfect present. Be sure to ask before you buy someone strings though – each player has a personal preference. Another good option is a tuner. They provide an easy way to ensure that the notes are true with every practice session.

Violin rosin is always a welcome gift. Violinists apply it to the bow hairs to create friction with the strings. The result is the beautiful sound that emanates from the instrument when a violinist runs the bow across the strings. All of these options are affordable for the average gift giver.

For buyers who want to splurge, a new violin case or an electric violin are excellent choices.
