Intermediate Violins

Soon enough, every student violinist will reach a point where they'll have to decide whether or not they want to continue with their instrument. For those who feel confident in their abilities and aspire to keep playing well into high school (and maybe after), it only makes sense to upgrade to an intermediate violin. There are many beautifully-crafted intermediate violins on today's market. In fact, respected brands like Cremona, Bellafina, Maple Leaf Strings and countless others specialize in intermediate violin models.

A great characteristic about intermediate violins is that they boast the same incredible attention to detail and craftsmanship as many professional models, but they come at a price that won't break your bank. Many companies offer intermediate outfits that feature a bow, rosin and high-quality case along with the violin model. A perfect example is the Karl Willhelm Model 44 Violin Outfit. The Model 44 Violin is carefully set up and inspected in Karl Willhelm's USA workshop. It has a fully hand-carved spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, four black string adjusters and is equipped with Thomastik Dominant Strings. Along with the violin, you'll receive a lightweight case and a carbon fiber bow.

Now for those of you who already have a bow and case that you're happy with, there are plenty of choices here that feature just the instrument. Just take a look at the Yamaha Intermediate Model AV10 Violin Instrument Only 4/4 Size. This instrument is shop-adjusted by Yamaha's trained professionals to exceed MENC standards. It sports a reddish-gold shading with a flamed back and sides that are seasoned and aged 5-plus years. Or, how about the Ren Wei Shi Classique Series Violin 4/4 Size. Easy to play and producing a smooth, polished sound, this work-of-art is a treat on the eyes and the ears.

Whether you're after an outfit or just the violin, there are many other best sellers to choose from in this catalog, so try to spend some time here. The fact that you're in this section means it's safe to say you're giving serious thought to your future as a violinist. For that reason alone, you should try to explore each model here thoroughly so you can be sure that it's the right fit for you. No doubt, there's bound to be something here that matches your hard-earned talents.
