Violins

Virtuoso Strings offers a huge range of new and played-in violins, from basic models for your toddler through to absolutely top-grade fullsize violins. We pride ourselves on supplying instruments for both students and professional players at prices unmatched around New Zealand.  Please contact us if you would like to visit our showroom. We have a wealth of teaching and performance experience we can share with students looking for an appropriate instrument.

Please note that, unless otherwise specified, only photographs of the actual instrument for purchase are displayed. What you see is what you get. We have really done our best to accurately depict instruments. However do remember that there are sometimes considerable variations in the way colour is displayed on different monitors: some make the wood look yellower, some make it redder. We also do not have space to display photographs of each and every blemish on instrument. We have tried nevertheless to give an honest and accurate impression in the description.

NOTE: All prices are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) and include Goods and Services Tax (GST).
