How much does a European handmade violin cost? Where is better to buy?

There are many kinds of materials for making violins. From the point of view of the place of production, they are divided into European materials and domestic materials. However, domestic luthiers mostly choose European materials. Because the violins they make are exported, and European and American violinists are accustomed to using European material violins. Secondly, domestic players prefer European materials, thinking that European violins are more classic and the pianos made of raw materials have better sound. Next, let me introduce the price of European handmade violins.

Advantages of using European materials for violins

Why do people choose European violins? First of all, the origin of violins is Europe. Europe has a long history of violin making and rich experience in violin making. The world's famous violin makers are all from Europe. In China, violin making started late and lacks experience. We lack research on our own materials and cannot make good violins based on the characteristics of our materials. Many domestic luthiers are imitating the styles and data of European luthiers.

Secondly, the quality of European materials is better. European material dealers have already contracted out local materials in different areas. Moreover, the materials in the wood warehouse are all racked, with space between each layer to facilitate ventilation and drying. Materials that have been naturally dried for less than 10 years are unqualified and will not be sold. Materials that are more than 10 years old are priced at a different price every 10 years. Even with such materials, it would take a few more years to work naturally in your own environment before you can make a piano. Violin making is an emerging industry in China. Due to large market demand and tight time constraints, factory conditions are simple and materials are piled haphazardly in open-air factories. The material does not take a long time to dry, so you can start making it as soon as you get it.

The sound of European violin

Because European materials are better than domestic materials in terms of dryness and elasticity, pianos made of European materials are better thanChinese violinThe sound is good. The so-called good sound means, specifically, that the pronunciation is pure, transparent, and sweet. Qins made with Chinese materials often have astringent pronunciation and noisy sounds, and are not as good as European materials. Especially the treble area is not bright enough. Because European violin making has a rich heritage and tradition, violin makers constantly adjust the methods and standards of violin making based on the characteristics of the materials. A set of violin-making data that is consistent with European-made violins has been summarized.

European violin price

The price of a piano is affected by many aspects, such as appearance, quality, tone, reputation of the violin maker, etc. The price of European violins is generally above 5,000. Among purely handmade European violins, the cheapest ones cost more than 10,000 yuan, while the most expensive ones cost hundreds of thousands. Materials and sound aside, why are European pianos better and more expensive? Because the production cost of European violins is high, the violin makers are more attentive. When buying a piano, you should choose a suitable piano based on your financial situation and requirements for piano quality. Many domestic violin studios sell European violins. I recommend buying them at Xiaoyu Violin Studio.
