We have violins manufactured exclusively in our workshop by our luthiers and following the guidelines of Xavier Vidal i Roca, always thinking of the demands of the players and obtaining optimal results in the most valued properties of the violin.

The materials with which our violins are constructed are always selected and quality wood used traditionally in the trade of the violin making process.

Which are the appropriate violin sizes according to age?

Before buying a violin, you must think about who will play it. The sizes of a violin for children will not be the same than an adult violin ones.

In our workshop located in Barcelona you can find different violin sizes for children, suitables according to their stage of growth. The smallest measures range from 1/16 to 1/2, and are for children who begin on the violin from very young ages -3 or 4 years- to children of 7 or 8 years. From here we go to viol violin, for children up to about 12 years, and finally we reach the final measure, the 4/4 violin. This measure is already the one that is hold throughout the adult stage.

It goes without saying that all these measures will depend on the person's height and growth. Usually, the norm for determining the ideal measure is the following: the violinist is able to take the violin's head with his left hand when placed in a performing position.

What price may I pay for a violin?

The price of the violin will depend on its size and the range in which it stands. Before you buy it, you have to think about the use that you are going to give it. If you want to spend a lot of time and learn to play the violin in a serious way, you should look for a quality instrument that lasts over time and reaches the expectations of sound.

In the price of the violin influences its process of construction and composition, because the materials with which it is constructed influence its acoustics and its sound. The more sound quality woods are those of maple, ebony, willow, boxwood and rosewood, and therefore if the violin is composed of these elements, it will have a higher price than another violin built with poorer materials.

In violins for children and violinists in the process of learning, prices will depend on size and materials, since they are more functional and not definitive instruments. In our shop you can find them from 199 to 995 euros. However, in 4/4 violins the price will also be subject, apart from the range and materials, to the antiquity and history of the instrument. At Luthier Vidal you can find 4/4 violins for students from 495 euros and up to 3,250 euros, depending on the range in which you want to look for options.

In our workshop we also have a large selection of professional and perfection violins, ideal for complete top and professional violinists. These violins are designed to meet the demands of expert musicians of exceptional acoustic quality and professionalism.
