THE VIOLIN FAMILY contains the most complex musical instruments in the world, capable of producing magical sounds. Their beauty can be elegant and crisp, or filled with wrenching emotion. The production of this wide range of sound depends on the skill of the player and the quality of the instrument.

AT CHARLES ERVIN VIOLINS, INC., we are engaged in a quest for celestial sound on earth, taking the classical Italian violins as our guide. We restore and sell classical instruments, and we make new instruments and bows. Restoring classical instruments to physical and tonal health broadens our insight into their mysteries. Based on this insight, we craft new instruments and bows that reach toward the heights achieved by the classical masters.

IF YOU ARE SEARCHING for an excellent instrument, old or new, we invite your inquiry.
