Knilling presents … from German artisans to your hands!
Knilling is now offering two new Franz Sander master violins, the Symphony Model and the Concerto Model. Both are handcrafted in Nauheim, Germany, and offer emerging talent a professional-quality instrument at an affordable price.
“These master violins from Franz Sander are heralded for their characteristic performance and open resonance,” declares Jim Eaton, vice president Knilling and Orchestral Sales. “It is exciting for us to offer our dealers yet another choice in string instruments so they can better serve their advancing players.”
The Symphony Model features select, even grain European spruce tops and beautifully flamed European maple back and ribs, with hand-rubbed spirit varnish. Choice trim includes a polished ebony tailpiece with gold diamond inlay with matching pegs and ebony Hill-style Guarneri chinrest. The #46F – 4/4 violin lists at $1,895.
The Concerto model displays a sonorous, even response and also features even grain European spruce tops and flamed European maple back and ribs with hand-rubbed spirit varnish. The trim on this violin includes polished ebony tailpiece with Parisian eye inlay with matching pegs, ebony Hill-style Guarneri chinrest. The #45 – 4/4 Violin lists at $1,595.
Both feature Dominant strings with black and gold Hill-style E-string adjuster.
“These instruments come from one of the most famous music families in Europe, expert craftsmen and women who have been creating high quality instruments since 1924,” Eaton adds. “That tradition continues with these two violins and they have already been well-received by our dealers to whom quality is important.”
