This instrument is modeled after the golden period work of Stradivari and has been carefully hand-crafted by the New York Stringed Instrument Company in conjunction with the New York Philharmonic. It is designed to be the absolute best intermediate student violin made and has gone through multiple inspections and play-testing so as to satisfy teachers and players completely. The violin outfit includes a quality pernambuco bow with ebony frog and a custom-made oblong case. (Individual cases may vary.)

The violins have a rich and even sound. Perfect for the budding violinist, on the way to becoming a future member of the New York Philharmonic"

- Frank Huang, Concertmaster, NY Philharmonic

"We work with thousands of talented students every year, too many of whom are being held back by inadequate instruments. A student who aspires to play professionally, certainly at the level of the New York Philharmonic, at some point needs a quality instrument. The New York Philharmonic Violins hit the sweet spot of affordability and quality, as judged by Philharmonic musicians themselves."

- Theodore Wiprud, Vice President, Education
