Hello,
today I received the violin, and after testing it all day, I’m very happy with the sound and the overall quality of the instrument, including the craftsmanship and the setup done by the luthier. The packaging was excellent—it was very well protected. I’m also very satisfied with the whole process, and I’m sure I’ll purchase another instrument from Corilon in the future.
Thank you!

Dear Dr Annette Roeben, I would like to thank you for my beautiful instrument (the violin of Paul Didier 1948). Almost 2 months already I practice and I’m really satisfied with it! I fell in love with this violin from the first sight! I’m really greatful. It’s so good that Corilon provides almost all instruments with audio files, cause it helps so much, in my case for sure! And you know, truly speaking I enjoy just to look through the site of Corilon cause this instruments collection is so beautiful and contains really interesting information about each instrument…it’s amazing just to read it! You do a really good job! Within the next few weeks I would like to buy a violin bow, my budget is not really big (1000-1300 euro) I would like to ask you, could you please to recommend me some RESILIENT and middle weight bow? it’s my basic request… On the website I found the only one with approximately suitable characteristic (Amati Mangenot), is there anything else you could recommend? It’s more complicated with bow, cause not possible to listen…Thank you!

Estimada Dra. Annette, Muy buenas tardes por allá !
Solo para comentarle que estuve usando mi violín Remy por poco más de 3 horas…..y en un lugar con mucha luz y buena acústica así que tuve oportunidad de revisarlo a detalle…..
De verdad es un VIOLIN INCREÍBLE …… es muyyyy cómodo para tocar, tiene un sonido maduro y muy balanceado, un timbre único!…..además de un carácter fantástico y unos agudos delicados y suaves……todo esto lo hace ideal para la música clásica, música de cámara y música barroca que es lo que tocó y tocaré los siguientes años…..y también tuvo razón en que para nada que en el sonido ver la reparación en la costilla
De verdad le agradezco que me haya recomendado y vendido este hermoso violín , que a partir de hoy será mi compañero!! También felicite por favor a su Luthier por su hermoso trabajo con este violín !
Además, a partir de hoy, cuente con que la estaré recomendando con todos mis alumnos y compañeros.
Saludos cordiales y nuevamente MUCHAS GRACIAS!!

Estimada Dra Annette:
Después de más de una semana de retraso, y algunos problemas con la empresa de mensajería, y no haber ido hoy a la comida de cumpleaños de mi hija por esperar el violín……El día de hoy casi a las 2 pm recibí el violín Remy !!!
Aunque las cajas fueron abiertas con navaja (por parte de UPS/aduana) y parte del violín fue expuesto (seguramente para revisar qué efectivamente era un violín)…..la verdad es que el violín llegó sano y salvo
MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!
Hay que reconocer que el violín fue muy bien empacado por parte de ustedes !
Que fue lo que hice ? Saqué el violín del empaque, lo revisé (y a simple vista está todo perfecto; limpieza, cuerdas, puente perfectamente bien ajustado, puntal se ve también muy bien ajustado, barbada, clavijas, TODO A SIMPLE VISTA PERFECTO!!), y guardé el violín en su nuevo estuche con humedad controlada…….y allí lo dejé descansar hasta mañana para que se vaya acostumbrando a su nuevo hogar……y a primera hora descubriré su sonido (ya que a la vista y al tacto tambien me encanta !!)
PREGUNTA Qué recomendaciones puede darme para este hermoso instrumento?? Voy a tocar a 440 hz …..espero que no haya inconveniente…..también estaré muy al pendiente de la humedad del instrumento…..hay algo más que se me esté olvidando antes de estrenarlo mañana a primera hora .?? (Ya que a mis 60 estoy como niño con juguete nuevo !!)
Si no hay algo más, ya te contaré mañana como inicia este violín en mi vida…..br> NUEVAMENTE MUCHAS GRACIAS! !<

Hello, I'm writing to confirm that I'm going to keep the François Caussin violin. Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful instrument, at an unbeatable price for such a sound. Thanks again to the Corilon team and I look forward to hearing from you, G. P.

12.11.2024

Bonjour, I have received the violin bow today, and it has arrived in perfect condition. I would like to express my gratitude for the quality of the shipping and packaging. I have always been extremely satisfied with your services, and I am truly delighted to have purchased from you the 1940 Markneukirchen violin last March, as well as this Bavarian German bow from 2021. I will certainly reach out to you in the coming years to purchase a Cremonese master violin, and I am genuinely pleased to know that your online store exists, offering such high-quality instruments, accessories, and bows. With all my best regards, and wishing you the very best. M. J.

Dear Dr Annette Roeben
I am happy to let you know that I have chosen to buy the English bow B744. My teacher was also very enthousiastic about the bow yesterday, it plays very fluently and the sound complements the violin wonderfully. It's a one of a kind bow. It is nice to hear different bows on the French 1750 instrument at a distance and the English far exceeded the Maline and German bow in sound. (...) For my teacher the English bow was too light (as expected), but found it a perfect match for me knowing my playing preferences. She was actually surprised how much she loved it, its playing skills were much better than her expensive bow. She also noticed the improvements in my playing skills, more expression and joy.

I am again a happy customer. I love the 30day trial period, it allows you to really get familiar with what you buy and therefore being more confinced. I love this bow.

If it's convenient for you I will return the bows tomorrow? Or do you prefer early next week (because of weekend?). Or are you in Cremona again? A short comment on the Prell, the adjuster was hard to use, was just able to tighten the bow enough to play. Maybe a luthier can look at it before it goes on its next trial? Kind regards from again a happy violinist,

I. (Netherlands)

Dear Dr. Roeben, I just wanted to thank you for my recent purchases of an Ettiene Perrin Violin and the Cuniot-Hury violin bow. After receiving these pieces, Corilon has earned my trust and I expect I'll be back some day for more. Your collection is wonderful and your prices make the purchase of wonderful instruments and bows achievable to many of us who otherwise would not have access to them. Thank you very much. H. E.

Guten Tag,
die von Ihnen empfohlene Violine gefällt meiner Tochter sehr gut. Ich möchte Sie bitten ihr ein Zusatzbogen mit höherer Qualität ( im Vergleich zu ihr jetziger Bogen) auszusuchen. Vielen Dank.Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Hello,
obviously I confirm to take the violin, it has a beautiful sound and I think I was lucky to find this instrument, which gets better every day. I found the chin rest very comfortable, it is the most comfortable I have felt in my life and I noticed that many of your violins are mounted with the same chin rest; if possible I'd like to know where you can buy it online, to recommend it to my friends and colleagues. Thank you, G. B.

Greetings Corilon,
I recently purchased a Joseph Altrichter violin from you and wanted to say thank you for selling me such a beautiful and playable instrument. Fantastic violin for the price and I could not be happier with the purchase. The sound is very balanced with a warm and articulate sound. Thank you again, Mr. P. N.

25.2.2024

I am writing to inform you that I am delighted with cello bow and confirm that I shall be keeping it.
Thank you for your excellent service. I thought you might like to know that I was an oboe/cor anglais player in the professional orchestra here in [xxx] for over 20 years. I had a child in 1981 and managed to play for a further 6 years. However, I felt that he needed more of my time and so left my position in [xxx]. Freelance work I found even more demanding and so stopped playing altogether. I am now 78 years old and last year I took up my favourite instrument, the cello. I am getting enormous pleasure from it even though I will never be able to play it to anyone other than myself, my husband and my teacher - an ex colleague from the orchestra. My new bow has made such a difference to my tone.
I felt I wanted to tell you my little story and what you have contributed to my musical pleasure. I hope you don’t mind.
Best wishes

It came today, Saturday, 1/27/24! After finding the shipping info and reading the lists of movements, I thought it might be on the delivery truck for today. And it was…
Opening the package carefully, I found the violin happily resting among the bubbles. The strings were easily tuned and within the hour I was testing the bows and the sounds it can produce. I found it easy to play, very responsive, overtones frequently within the violin….a real pleasure to play. I have a year old Lord Wilton I have been playing for a year, loving it too. Time will tell which will become the favorite. Well pleased with this French violin!!! Thanks so much for your great service and answering my questions promptly. Best wishes to you….i love looking at your “new” violins.

25.1.2024

Dear Dr Annette, The violin was well received today and I wanted to send my gratitude to you. It’s definitely a high quality violin with sweet mature and radiating sound. You are right and I am happy with it. (..) Anyway, I love it . Best regards, Steve

7.11.2023

Hello again Dr. Roeben,

I hope that you and the rest of the team at Corilon are well. I would like to thank you very much for the information that you had given me about the violin's history and minor irregularities due to its age. I have been able to use the violin now for a few weeks, and am very happy with its tone and performance. The description that you had of its tone on your store of "warm, mature, rich in overtones, resonant" was very accurate, and a welcome improvement compared to a cheaper rental violin that I had been using before receiving this instrument from you. I intend to keep it for many years as my primary instrument. I am very glad that I found it through your company at the great price that it was sold at!

Sincerely,

Andrew

1.10.2023

Good morning. I confirm that I have already received the violin. Thanks a lot. It's great! (...) Many thanks for everything! The violin is fantastic! We will continue to contact you for future purchases as I want to purchase another violin from you.

Vielen Dank!

die Geige klingt unglaublich. Ich habe einen Louis Bazin-Bogen gefunden, um sie zu begleiten, und das Ganze ist magisch! Meine Tochter ist jeden Tag glücklich auf diesem Instrument. Ihr Klang ist sogar rührend.

Ich werde eine Nachricht in dieser Richtung auf dem Link, den Sie mir nennen, hinterlassen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Dear Ms. Dr Annette Roeben

Hello. I'm R.A., who purchased the Lotte Cello Bow from you.

I've been playing the Lotte Cello Bow for a while now. This Lotte Cello Bow has great tone and performance. I have several more expensive Old French bows, but this Lotte Cello Bow is fantastic. Especially the cost performance is the best.

I played a few Lotte Cello Bows in Japan and they weren't great. I felt that Lotte Cello Bow has a big individual difference. Anyway this Lotte Cello Bow is great! I am very grateful to you.

I am a patent attorney and cellist in Japan and a collector of cello bows. I have multiple cellos and cello bows. The main cello is an Italian cello from around 1830 with a certificate of authenticity from Florian Leonhardt. Please let me know if you have a good bow. I would consider purchasing.

Thank you again!

Best Regards,

R. A.

9.6.2023

Hello Annette, I wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to collect the violin in the shop I really appreciate it and I loved Cremona it's my first time there, I wanted to tell you specifically how kind and welcoming the luthier was, especially since I got to practice a bit my french with him. I would love to go back just for the experience. I hope you have a great trip back to Germany. Till the next time. Kind regards, Rimel

27.5.2023

Dear Dr Roeben, The violin and its owner are together happily. Very nice violin. Thank you very much. Best wishes Roberto G

11.3.2023

Thank you, Annette! Looks like it finally went through. I saw UPS shipping notification today! My daughter and her teacher are so excited with the instrument we just purchased from you, they cannot wait to hear the sound with the new bow. :)
Thanks again!

6.3.2023

Dear Doctor Roeben , I am writing to let you know that my violin has arrived safe and sound here in Ireland. It’s absolutely gorgeous and my initial reaction when playing it is, it seems to physically fit me so much better than my previous instrument. I have lost all the tension when playing it, it’s so much lighter and not as large as my previous violin . So that is a huge benefit which should aid my progression. I need to give it a little time to settle and acclimatise as it keeps going out of tune but so far I’m very optimistic that we will be a good partnership. Many thanks ,
Best wishes,

Hello, Annette, I LOVE the Conia viola!! It is so comfortable to play, with great response, tone, and projection. Quite powerful, too. In fact, it has improved my playing! So there will be no reason to return it. Thank you so much for the excellent set-up, and the Evah Golds, too. They really do enhance the instrument. Once again you have made me a very happy customer. Cheers, and have a good year! Susan

6.2.2023
Hello, Annette, Just to let you know, the Conia viola arrived last Thursday. Excellent packing, and surprisingly fast shipping (3 days)! Much appreciated. Viola is very interesting, indeed. I am giving it a good play-in, and will take it to chamber orchestra rehearsal next Tuesday. That will be the real test in terms if how well it blends with a small viola section. So far it seems to suit my style of playing and is rather fun to play. Will gove you update next week. Thanks again for supplying the Evah Golds. They certainly give a lot of body to the sound. Thank you! Kind regards, S.

Buongiorno D.ssa Annette, sono Z.K., ho acquistato il violoncello di Mario Gadda del 1982. Volevo dirle che il violoncello è arrivato già da diversi giorni, l'imballaggio è stato perfetto, e il violoncello è in ottime condizioni. Ho aspettato qualche giorno per scriverle perché volevo provarlo accuratamente. Sono molto contenta dell'acquisto è uno strumento molto bello. Vorrei cortesemente sapere che tipo di corde sono state montate sullo strumento, mi piacciono molto, posso contattare il vostro laboratorio di liuteria? Le auguro una buona giornata, Z.

Good Day Corilon Team, Good news! This morning I went to the customs and postal office after receiving the notice about the parcel.
It’s a beautiful piece and my son got his surprise and loves it very much.
Sending photos of the violin, one with the 3/4 DDR Geige bought in DDR at a Flohmarkt 30 years ago which my son started learning with 8 months ago.
Again thank you .
Kind regards, Alex M

I recently received the violin, very carefully packaged. I admit to being a bit anxious about the overseas transaction, but I feel you have provided a high quality violin in excellent playing condition at a reasonable price. The light but sturdy case is an unexpected bonus. The entire process could not have been more efficient and enjoyable. Thank you. D. P., Boston, MA, USA

Bonjour Madame. Je voulais vous dire que j'étais très satisfait de mon nouveau violon italien fait par Gabriele Rossi ! Par contre,je n'ai pas pû identifier le type de cordes que vous lui avez monté,et qui lui conviennent parfaitement... cordialement.D.B.

Hello, I like to thank Dr Annette Roeben and her team for helping me choose this violin. I described what I was looking for and Dr. Roeben recommended this one, from a selection of three instruments. Having been playing with it for about 3 weeks now, I am really happy with the Remy Violin.
There was a reluctance to buy a violin without trying it out first, especially at that price range, and shipped to the other side of the world. From my experience try out the local ones first, then listen to the audio files of the violin that you are interested in here in Corilon. This way you have a better understanding of what you are looking for. I think Dr Annette Roeben does have the interest of the buyer in mind, and I am quite comfortable buying it this way again. The shipping process was very smooth. The 30 days money-back guarantee does provide some reassurance. All in all, delighted by the whole process and the violin was as it was described. Spend many hours every day playing it.

Hello Dr. Annette Roeben.

The violin arrived on Monday and everything went well. My daughter loves the new instrument and the sound is a big improvement over the previous violin.

Hope to deal again in the near future.

Hello,
The Opus 1 violin arrived four days ago. Everything was in good order. Excellent packing! I have been playing it every day now, and I really love it. Very resonant and powerful. I wasn’t really expecting much with the bow, but I really like it a well. And the case is fine, too. So all in all, I am quite happy with the purchase. Could I ask about the luthier or the workshop you are working with who produce your CV Selectio line? It would be nice to have more information on your labels, like a mention that it is Op. 1, and is a copy of the Lord Wilton Guarnerius. Thank you for your recommendation. Regards,
S.G.

15.6.2022

Dear Dr Roeben Violin arrived safely. It’s a nice little fiddle. Big and powerful sound indeed. Thank you very much for the shoulder rest. Hope to speak to you soon regarding the next purchase. Best Regards

Liebe Frau Dr Roeben
Ich habe jetzt ein paar Tage auf meiner neuen Geige spielen können …sie erwähnten schon im Gespräch am Telefon, ich würde begeistert sein. Sie übertrifft meine Erwartungen in allen Belangen und ich weiss sie wird sich noch sehr schön entwickeln. Sie ist wundervoll gearbeitet und in jedem Detail meisterlich.
Ich möchte mich auch für die schnelle Versendung bedanken und für die Zugabe der Schulterstütze.
Einen schönen Abend und ein schönes Wochenende.

Dear Dr. Annette,
Hope you're doing well. Just wanted to say thank you for the violin that I bought from Corilon Violins two years ago. I'm very grateful for this beautiful instrument and have enjoyed playing it every single time. If I visit Germany again after the pandemic is over, I will drop by to say hello.
Stay safe and take care. Regards, S. India

Dear Dr Roeben
I received the cello yesterday afternoon.
I would like to thank you a lot about your excellent packing. The instrument (Eduard Tauscher Cello) is very good.
I hope we will co-operate again in the future.

Dear Doctor Roeben
Thank you very much for your excellent service. I am absolutely delighted with the JTL violin, which has a lovely tone and is a huge improvement over my "starter" violin. I am only in my second year of learning the violin, and this instrument was at the upper end of my budget, but it is worth every penny!
I am sending an order for a chin-rest and bow to use with it, and (to ensure it is adequately insured) a Certificate of Appraisal.
I congratulate you on a first-class website - your photographs are very useful and your description completely accurate in every detail, and your way of doing business inspires confidence and trust.

Dear Sir,
I received this violin four days ago and I am really satisfied!

Dear Dr Annette Roeben,

Thanks.

Greetings,
I just want to email you guys to say, thank you!. The violin is now in my possession and is in great condition. The wait was very much worth it and In the future, I will surely go back at your store to purchase another one when my level of playing increase in skill.

Hello Dr. Roeben,
I hope I’m finding you well. It’s been almost a year since we last talked. I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The Wolff Brothers violin that you recommended to me is a remarkable instrument. It looks incredibly good but the most important thing is that it has a very generous sound. It also offers a wonderful palette of sound colours. The moment I played that instrument for the first time I knew we were meant to be. I’m so glad I went with one of your recommendations. It’s probably one of the best recommandations that was ever made to myself. I feel very privileged to play this instrument almost everyday. Like we say, the third time is a charm but I think it certainly has more to do with the process. Asking questions to a knowledgeable person like you is usually a great idea.
I thought it was time to send you a very warm thank you.
Now, you must be wondering why I’m writing after all this time. Well, humm, I’m looking for my viola soulmate, a bow. I saw that you have what seems to me very interesting viola bows on your website. My budget is [...] My viola is a very nice « bench » modern instrument. I’ve attached two sound clips for you to listen to my viola. You will hear some weird noises. Don’t worry it’s my old dog that has a heart disease and he does not care if I’m playing or not. ;) It’s a very young instrument. It was made in 2019 but I know it has so much potential. I would say that my current bow is good for outside playing nothing more. I’d be interested to know what you would recommend to me.
Thanks a lot in advance,
J. F.

Guten Abend Frau Dr. Roeben,
die Opus 17 ist heute gut angekommen. Sie gefällt mir richtig gut, optisch und auch klanglich. Im Vergleich ist meine Wahl doch auf die "Neue" gefallen, wobei die Opus 12 ja auch schön klingt, etwas heller insgesamt. Aber auch diese Violine wird seinen Spieler finden. Zu empfehlen sind die Instrumente aus Ihrer Serie auf jeden Fall. Also, die Opus 17 bleibt bei mir. Mit UPS kenne ich mich nicht aus, kann ich die Opus 12 auch mit DHL zurückschicken? Ich habe gelesen, dass Sie eine Kopie der Rechnung zurück bekommen-ich kann aber auch das Original mitschicken. Über eine kurze Rückmeldung freue ich mich und bedanke mich für Ihre Beratung und Möglichkeit, zwischen zwei Instrumenten zu wählen. Vielen Dank und Grüße S.V.

Betreff: AW: Kontaktaufnahme Corilon

Guten Tag Frau Dr. Roeben, schön, ich freue mich und bin gespannt!
Ja die Violine klingt wirklich toll, ich mag sie kaum aus der Hand legen :) Das Einzige ist für mein Empfinden die A Saite, die einen kleinen Tick "weicher" klingen könnte-aber die Ohren sind ja unterschiedlich empfindsam. Daher möchte ich mal hören, ob die Opus 17 evtl. noch mehr zusagt.
Aber wie gesagt, tolles Instrument für diese Preisklasse und super bequem zu spielen! Auf der Suche nach meiner Traumgeige habe ich wirklich viele Geigen Probe gespielt, auch alte Instrumente in unterschiedlichen Preisklassen gehört. Diese Opus 12 ist klanglich für den Preis nicht zu toppen, da habe ich deutlich teurere Instrumente gehört, die nicht annähernd so schön klingen. So, Ihnen nun einen schönen Restsonntag, Vielen Dank für Ihre Mühe.
Viele Grüße S. V.

Das Instrument ist in altersgerechtem guten Zustand und entsprechend der Beschreibung sehr klangschön.

die Bratsche ist wirklich edel. Spielt sich so leicht und hat einen wunderbar ausgeglichenen, hellen ("flötigen") aber trotzdem schön tragenden Klang. Ich bin völlig glücklich mit den Corilon Instrumenten. Zudem passt und unterstütz der Corilon/Ouchard Bogen das Instrument hervorragend.
Meinerseits ein ganz grosses Dankeschön für die bereits vielen schönen Stunden mit Ihren Instrumenten und Bögen und Ihre hochgeschätzte Arbeit.
Alles Gute und einen feinen Sommer.
Hochachtungsvoll

Hello Dr Roeben,
Just let you know that I’ve already received the package. My daughter is so so exciting to see her new 1/4 violin and can’t wait to play it with her 1/8 bow. We all love its radiant and mature sound.
Very glad to deal with you. I would definitely continue to purchase 1/2, 3/4, 4/4 historic violins from you when my daughter grows up.
Thanks and best regards,
Y. Z.

Hello,
Just writing to let you know the violin arrived safely today, and everything seems to be in order.
I got a quite substantial improvement in my student violin when switching to a ConCarbo tailpiece, and that allowed me to explore tone production and high positions a bit further - but this Opus 12 is something else entirely! So much power and resonance, and it responds on a completely different level, allowing me to feel and hear exactly what I'm doing. I'm also loving the tone and the wide range of colors available even with my limited skills. This is exactly the upgrade I hoped for, and I believe it will be tremendously helpful.
Thank You,
David

Dear Dr. Roeben,
Thank you for the beautiful violin that I purchased from Corilin. I love it! Both the sound and condition are absolutely amazing.
I am very grateful to have been able to purchase this violin. It will be well cared for, played, and cherished.
What brand of strings were strung on my violin for future reference? Pirastro...?
With Kind Regards,
M. D.

Hi,
The violin is fantastic. Its sounds great and stays in tune. It was actually still in tune when it arrived from Germany. I look forward to playing I everyday. . I can read the Gaetano Chiocchi on the label but what else is written there? May I ask where did you acquire it and do you know its history besides what’s on the description on the web site?
Thanks,
T.

Sehr geehrte Frau Dr. Roeben!
Nach ein paar Tagen Abwesenheit freute ich mich, als ich Ihren Brief mit der quittierten Rechnung und dem Testat zu dem Bogen von Paul Emile Miquel vorfand.
Zu meiner großen Freude spiele ich diesen Bogen jetzt nur noch.

Dear Dr Roeben
I wanted to let you know that the violin was delivered within a week, and we really like it.
Thanks for the great recommendation.
I would like to ask if there is a bow you would recommend with this violin? I am thinking of an approximate price range of Euro 1000.
Best wishes

Dear Dr. Annette
Hi,
I want to thank you for all your corporation and support. Your company truly is a professional organization of string instruments. I strongly recommend your company to other musicians. I am satisfied with my violin and I appreciate it. I wish I upgrade my violin from your violins in the future.

Dear Dr Roeben,
I'm thinking about getting a new violin bow and I would be happy to have your personal recommandation. As you probably remember I bought a good Mittenwald violin of your catalogue, (inventory number 5422) ; a very responsive instrument, warm sound, that I'm in love with, and I'm looking for a bow that could well fit with this instrument. I have a not too bad Erwin Sprager bow but it's not perfect.
In your opinion, would bows B934 (JTL Grandini) or B757 (Bazin) be good choices in your catalogue? Would you have a special recommandation (my budget is max. 2000 euros) considering my violin ?
Thanks in advance,
G. P.

Hello, The violin has been delayed for a long time in China because the epidemic recently. I just got it this afternoon. The violin looks very beautiful and the sound is great!! Attached is a section of the Marx Bruch G minor concerto played by my daughter 8 years old. It is the same as your online demo. She wants to ask you to listen and hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much! The violin started a new journey in China! Best!!

Dear Dr Roeben,
I received the violon, and I'm pleased to inform you that I find it fabulous. What a warm and clear sound ! I'll keep it for sure.
I'm a professor of French literature, specialized in 19th Century and it's like I could hear music coming from 1870...
Many thanks to you and all the best to Corilon,

Liebe Frau Roeben,
die herrliche Violine von Gigli werde ich behalten. Wäre es möglich, das Instrument noch etwas meiner alten Geige anzupassen? (...) viele Grüße,

Dear Dr Roeben,
as you might have noticed, I did not return the Sebastian Klotz violin. In fact i'm extremely happy with it. I needed to get used to it a little bit, as it's quite different from my other violon.
But now I'm used to it, i'ts hard to stop playing it.
So once again, thank you for the good experience.
Kind regards
A.

20.10.2019
Hello Corilon, We purchased a violin for my daughter from you, this past July—-inventory #5415, a composite instrument believed to be by Nicolas Gosset. We are extremely pleased with the violin. Its sound is truly magnificent and it can easily hold its own with instruments costing 20 times the price we paid for it. I believe it has already made a significant difference in my daughter’s playing. Now we are in the market for a bow. (...) We would appreciate any recommendations you can give.
Sincerely, D. M.

7.4.2019
By the time the violinist had a chance to listen to it this weekend, it was sold! We will keep watching and see what else you list! Thanks so much for doing such a great job!
We will be buying several for some young violinists, we have been very pleased with your instruments!
Best!

Sehr geehrte Frau Dr. Roeben,
als kleine Vorab-Info. Ich bin, war und werde vermutlich auch weiterhin sehr zufrieden mit der ganzen Logistik sein. Die [Francois Caussin] Violine begeistert mich fast jeden Tag immer wieder aufs Neue und ich schätze mich sehr glücklich, dieses Instrument endlich bei Ihnen gefunden zu haben. Die Violine kam bestens an (habe sie unter Skepsis ausgepackt und den Postboten warten lassen, aber alles war perfekt verpackt und kam völlig intakt an). Gerne nehme ich Ihren Service auch bzgl. Instrumentenaufarbeitung an und freue mich auf jede weitere Form der Zusammenarbeit.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen und nochmals herzlichen Dank
Dr. M. K.

Dear Dr. Annette and Corilon Violins,
We trust this finds you well!
I wanted to express to you how happy we have been with our violin purchase at Corilon. The “Red Violin from Mittenwald” purchased in 2014 from you has allowed our daughter Megan to prosper in her violin endeavors. With it at her side over the past 5 years, she was able to audition for and become principle second, and then principle/co-concertmaster of the Saginaw Bay youth orchestra, it has performed with her in numerous venues, solo performances, ensembles, etc. It has in all regards been an exceptional instrument. Most recently she auditioned for and was accepted into the Bob Jones University orchestra, where she is studying as a dual music major in Vocal and Violin performance. This violin has become her trusted friend, and we owe a great debt of thanks to you and the team at Corilon for helping us to choose this instrument. [...] Looking forward to hearing from you and any suggestions she should consider from your collection -
Best!
D. W.

February 28th, 2019
Dear Dr. Roeben,
Just to let you know the violin has arrived safe and sound. It’s a wonderful instrument. My daughter is taking her violin diploma soon and it’s a great help to have such a beautiful sound.
I am still looking for a 1st class cello for my son. I might pop round to Munich with my son to try it out. If you know of a excellent cello please let me know.
Thank you very much

Hello, I’m just wondering if you would possibly consider trading in the violin I got from you with a year or more. I just thought it would be nice to know for future reference. And I’m wondering when the cutoff date is to return the violin I bought. I have been trying quite a few other violins in the same price range and none of them have compared to the one I bought from you.
Thank you,
J. B.

Hi Annette
Please find attached confirmation of my payment to you for the Bergonzi violin (see below).

Hi Annette
This is to let you know that the vioin arrived two days ago. Both my son and I absolutely LOVE the instrument. I thank you very much indeed for selecting the instrument for me and sending it so carefully.

Kindest regards

Dear Dr Roeben
The Dykes violin arrived yesterday. I must say that it is a superb instrument. Well balanced across all the strings, responsive, tonally excellent: round and warm in the lower registers, clear in the upper and the harmonics ring out for a long time. A joy to play such quality! I have hardly had it out of my hand. Please give my appreciation to your luthier who set the instrument up - an excellent job.
But what surprised me was its power and projection - I did not expect that. Many thanks, I think I’ll keep it (LOL)!

Hello,
I received the purchased violin bow a little over a week ago, and have been using it since. I'm very impressed and really like it, It complements the French Violin I purchased from you 2 years ago. I intent to keep it.
Also I am returning a bow for you to consider towards an upgrade to this new French bow. The bow I will return was purchased in 2014, inventory no.:B371 Marma bow. Included with the bow will be the origional invoice.
Thank you

Guten Tag Frau Dr. Roeben
der wundervolle Bogen ist heute Freitagnachmittag wohlbehalten bei mir in Zürich eingetroffen!
Ganz herzlichen Dank für die rasche Lieferung.
Ich habe nun seit 16.00h mit dem [Johannes Finkel] Bogen spielen dürfen und bin hellauf begeistert. Er spielt sich äusserst angenehm und der Klang ist wirklich voll und reich an Wärme und Charakter.
Ob auf der 1820 Didier Nicolas oder der 2004 Philippe Girardin entwickelt er einen explizit charaktervollen Ton. Aber Sie haben es ja so schön und perfekt in der Bogenbeschreibung geschrieben; es gibt nichts anzufügen ausser, dass ich mich gleich in ihn verliebt habe. Ich bin richtig glücklich und Stolz, seine Geschichte weiterführen zu dürfen. Er sieht so edel und reich aus und spielt sich so fantastisch und leicht!
Ein riesiges Dankeschön im Speziellen auch an Sie und das ganze Corilon Team!
So macht das Leben und die Musik doppelt Freude!
Alles Gute und nochmals besten Dank für Ihre hochgeschätze Arbeit!
Schöne Grüsse
T. S. (Switzerland)

Dear Dr. Roeben, I have received the violin today. It's all fine with the custom and the instrument. The package is great to protect the violin no any damaged. Also it is a really nice one to play. The sound and tone are beautiful. I am sure that I chosed right one. Once again, thank you very much for your kindly advices and good services during the whole way.

We had been to many local and well established shops and were not impressed with the selection/value.
Over a period of six to eight months, and many home instrument trials, nothing seemed right. After visiting the Corilon site over a number of weeks a decision to purchase based on the violin image and demo clip was made. No disappoints and quite accurate. My daughter had gotten nothing but compliments from multiple teachers and performers. Thank you again,
G. L. (U.S.A.)

Dear Dr Annette,
I received my violin order no. 4761 a few weeks ago. The violin arrived in perfect condition as it was very well packaged. I am extremely please with my purchase. The description on your site about this instrument was a perfect description. "The powerful warm, large sound is strong and warm, clear, with some mature sweetness, rounded, well balanced with beautiful resonance, and excellent projection". Also, your recording of the instrument was very accurate. The violin, being my 8th, over the years in search of the perfect violin in my price range, was exactly what I was looking for. The setup was professionally executed and plays like a dream.
I appreciate the 30 trial period for me to fully get to know the instrument but I will be keeping this one.
Thanks again

Dear Annette,
We have received our violin and it has arrived undamaged.
Thank you for your help with choosing the violin and bow for my daughter.
Her teacher tuned it for us this week and couldn't believe how effortless it was to play and loved the sound.
Thank you again. I hope to visit you in your shop one day.
Can you tell me which strings you have used on the violin please.
All the very best and I hope you and your family have a happy Easter.

Dear Dr. Roeben, Contavalli violin is arrived with Lotte bow, in excellent package. Contavalli is an excellent instrument with soloist, professional sound rich in overtones with great projection: a very beautiful violin in all parts. Roger Lotte bow is perfect, strong, for Contavalli and Unsworth.
Thank you very much for this excellent service.
Is it possible to know if I can send you my others violins: Mathias Kloz 1716 and Didier Nicolas Aine, because are necessary new bridge, fingerboard adjustment, and extensively worked over by your experts in order to achieve optimum tonal chalities, if necessary new soundpost: in the Contavalli and Unsworth violins there are bridge, fingerboard, soundpost in perfect position and very well worked, and these violins sounds in easy mode without hard. Your master liuther is very expert and very good as a few, and I like him.
Can you say instructions, please?

I wanted to let you know the violin arrived this week and I have been enjoying it very much! I was amazed to see what beautiful condition it arrived in, it was nearly in tune straight out of the box!
it is an interesting instrument - definitely worth the gamble of ordering online without a chance to play it first - though I also have to say that your listening samples on the website had a lot of depth to them... and what I heard in this violin from that recording, a certain particular kind of focus, is truly here.
so thank you very much, and I appreciate the excellent service and quality!
Yours,

Dear Dr Roeben,
Received the Ludwig Glasel violin and the Thoma silver bow, they look beautiful. After putting kids to bed, I had only a very little while looking at them and played them for a couple minutes, the sound was charming too. I am glad I made the decision to purchase them from you.
Thanks

This is my second violin ordered from you. My son is very happy with the 1/2 violin - charming red French Mansuy violin Inventory No. 3003 bought last November. This one will be passed to my younger daughter and my son is picking this new one up. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

14/12/2017
to Dr Annette Roeben
the violin ordered arrived at home yesterday December 13th. Very good packaging.
We can actually read under the string of E the inscription Nicolas aïné, handwriten
The first contact is good with a length of the body a little unusual.
But I knew it.
The general appearance is very good ( very few scratches ) and I like the color of the varnish.
It's a fine violin in the tradition of French violinmakers like Lupot or Gand, We had at home a Gand-Bernardel violin (circa 1880 ?) which I returned to its American owner two months ago.
I am now going to tame this violin
The sound is interesting : deep, sweet and powerful at the same time
Something like "suave" in french
best regards

Just out of curiosity and so I can learn, what caused the improvement in sound?

Dear Dr. Roeben,
I am very satisfied with the 1/2 size violin I bought last time from your recommendation. My daughter increasingly enjoy playing with it day by day. She did well in her solo competition and school orchestra competition this year. She came second in the grade 2 violin solo in the 69th Hong Kong Schools Music Festival and the school orchestra she was in came first in both the String Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra section. I was very pleased with the result and thank you for recommending an affordable but yet reasonable good quality 1/2 violin for her.
Now I am planning to buy a 3/4 violin for her for next year's playing. I have reviewed all the 3/4 violins you have posted in the past year and found this violin sounded really exceptional [...]

Dear Dr. Roeben:
I want to tell you how very much pleased I am with the P. Dorfel violin I purchased from Corilon Violins. I love playing it and find it hard to put away.
I have owned some fine instruments when I played professionally for many years. I have never tried a violin from a shop that was given to me for trial in such beautiful condition. Even a couple of the best US shops sent out instruments with ill fitting bridges, sound posts too far back of the bridge, and with old strings.
The violin I purchased from you was not only perfect in setup, but polished, as well.
I love the Dorfel violin. It continues to improve in tone and response as I play it every day and is exceptionally even.
I have never before played Tonica strings. I like them very much, as they are very warm and resonant, but I need to know which strings you put on my Doefel, as I recently found that they could be either the older Tonicas or the “New Formula” Tonicas. If you have the time I would love to know which they are, as I would like to purchase the same strings when necessary. Also, I cannot tell if those on the Dorfel are silver or aluminum D strings.
Any information as to the strings would be most appreciated.
I am telling everyone I know about your wonderful company and instruments.
Very best regards, N. H. = (U.S.A.)

30/8/2017
I received my violin and bow on Friday and after letting it acclimate to Oklahoma, have found it to be everything I wanted from a violin. It fit perfectly to my smaller hands and fingers and the sound was absolutely what I expected. Thank you for all your guidance in finding the best suited bow. It is a nice balance for my style of playing. I have already shared my acquisition with a fellow violinist. She found my purchase to be a nice compliment for me.
Again thank you for your help with my purchase.

22/8/2017
Dr. Roeben,
I'm happy to report the violin arrived late this evening, and in good condition. It looks beautiful, even better than as shown on the website! We'll evaluate it in the coming days and let you know if we decide to keep or return it. But, my son already loves it.
On a personal note, I've been following your website for two years now and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your extensive selection of old European violins because in San Antonio, the selection is limited to mostly Chinese violins. When it comes time to upgrade, I think we'll come to Munich! Thanks so much!
M. (U.S.A.)

21/8/2017
Dear Madam Roeben:
Thank you very much for the additional papers on the violin.
My husband and I love the P. Dorfel violin and I am going to keep it. It has a wonderful tone, warm and powerful, which continues to improve as I play it more and more.
My husband found your company and the violin on the internet. The sound sample of your violins was such a help and the price is well under a P. Dorfel violin offered at a shop in Philadelphia, PA.
Very best wishes,

Dear Dr. Roeben,
I recently purchased a Richardson bow and a gorgeous 1920's Czech Bohemian violin from your workshop. I am thrilled with the quality of these items, and the professionalism of the delivery - the violin arrived in Australia in near-perfect pitch, and was immediately a joy to play. And the bow is perfectly weighted, as described, and has deeply enriched my playing.
I have in my possession another violin, a 1902 Paul Arno Voigt (Manchester) [...]

Hello,
Firstly thank you for such a gorgeous instrument. I've absolutely fallen in love. However, I am having to tune the instrument every day quite a bit - but I suppose this is because of new strings? May I ask what the strings are as well please?
Anyway aside from this small issue which will surely resolve itself the more I play, I couldn't be any happier with my purchase. Thank you very much.
D. (UK)

06/06/2017
Dear Dr Roeben,
The violin arrived in good shape today! My daughter tunes and plays it nicely without any problem?The sound quality and the outlook of the violin are both better than I expected while it is less weighty compared to my other full size violin! I am glad to have it and thank you for your advice!
Best regards

Dear Dr. Roeben,
The Breton violin was delivered on Friday and was in perfect condition. Besides being safely delivered, your setup of the violin also survived the trip and it is every bit as lively and resonant as you described. This 3/4 violin more than matches my 4/4 for volume, sustain and beautiful overtones. My son is ecstatic with it and how easy it is to play. Thank you for all your help with this, I look forward to shopping with you again when the time comes.
Regards,

Dr Annette Roeben,
Thank you for your response and kind offer. It makes perfect sense. I always wondered why it felt so light, and yes, the sound is very good- it is my teacher's favorite! Thank you for you offer of compensation, but I have a luthier who I think can help me with this, and that will not be necessary. I do not want to change what this violin is, and will keep the hardwood.

I also want to give a good report about my 1950 unlabeled German violin. It's sound has opened up after daily playing. I found that it needed to have the sound drawn out of it, and cannot be played hard. Because my technique has improved, I am able to do that, and it has rewarded me with amazing tone qualities and projection. It has clear, bell like tones that are pure. Another interesting thing is that it can be played with a bow that is completely un-tensioned and give stunning overtones. (done by mistake). It is VERY interesting! It must be the tone woods as you described.

When I am ready to upgrade, I will surely come back to Corilon.
Sincerely,
D. H.

Dear Dr. Roeben
I have received my violin couple of days ago and very happy with packaging and all and excited to get started!
Thanks,
L. (Saudi Arabia)

Dear Dr Roeben,
Yes the condition of the violin is very good and I particularly like the golden colour! Its very eye catching.
My son already tried on the violin, he likes it very much. Surely it will take some time for him to get the best out of it.
Really appreciated your professional help.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks.
Regards,
S.

Dear Dr Röben
Thank you very much indeed for my order. It arrived without fuss or frustration (unlike most of my orders from much larger online retailers), beautifully & carefully packed along with the bow. My violin teacher had certain reservations about me ordering a new fiddle over the internet but I think she will be happy, as I indeed am, extremely so, with your products and service.
Many, many thanks

Dear Dr. Roeben:
The sound of this violin is wonderful.
I would like to thank you for your original recommendation.
Best regards, D.-H. (Taiwan)

I just wanted to let you know I received the violin yesterday and am already in love with it's beautiful rich tone, even after limited play. It is even more beautiful than I could have hoped for, both in tone and appearance.
The quality and color of the varnish is simply magical and amazing, even more so in person. Pictures certainly did not do it justice.
I am so appreciative of the work that you do, giving old violins new life and finding them homes where they can truly be appreciated, cherished, and loved for the amazing unique treasures that they are.
Thank you for sending me such an amazing instrument that is truly a work of art. Had it been me, I would've found it impossible to part with it. I am so grateful you are willing to to share.
It is dedinitely an inspiration and I look forward to working hard enough to be worthy of such a spectacular violin.
Best Regards,
N. S. (United States)

Hello Dr. Roeben,
I am so glad to share with you that our private violin teacher loves the violin with one word "Supper"! The violin teacher is one of the best violinist in Austin studied in Moscow with Kogan. He is very pleased with your instrument.
In fact, I recommended one of my student who purchased one of of your hundred years old cello last year. We love it and I started to pay a close attention to your company. You might have more buyers from my students every year now on.
[...] Your lovely violin arrived just on time. My daughter will have a competitive violin competition next month. This beautiful violin will help her indeed. Again, thank you very much for your excellent work.

Dear Dr Roeben,
I had a great experience visiting Corilon violins and my son loves the violin we chose. I would like to ask master violin maker Bernhard D. Fischer if the violin case that came with the violin has a key to it? I forgot to ask about it, and if a key is available it will be great!
Thank you!
Best regards

Hi Corilon,
I just received my Large-sized English violin. I have to say the violin is beautiful from the design to the sounds just like the description on your website. The sounds project clearly, bright and loudly. The Pirastro Tonica works on the violin very well. I love the violin a lot!!! Thank you for selling an amazing instrument, Van (Vietnam)

Hello,
The violin bow arrived safely, and I am very happy with it. The description was accurate and it has all the qualities I was looking for. Thank you!!!
Best wishes,
Diego R. (Japan)

Dear Dr. Roeben,
The instrument is arrived at my room on 7th April 2016.
How beautiful and resonant voice it has!
I am so pleased it and appreciated to get acquainted with a new friend.
Thank you.

First off, thank you for my beautiful violin! I love it so much! I was trying out a violin that was priced at $16,000.00, and everyone who heard my violin from Corilon, liked mine better than the more expensive instrument. So, thank you again!

With kind regards,
D. E.

Dear Dr. Roeben,
I received my violin two weeks ago and am thrilled with it beyond words. It sounds so much better than my original Chinese violin; in fact my Chinese violin sounds as if it is being played from the inside of a box compared to this instrument. I know this Mirecourt represents the very low end of your instruments, though to me it is nothing short of amazing. I often just hold it and look at it wondering its history these last 115 years. I like that it appears quite dirty/aged inside and even the label which says, 'Antonius Stradivarius Cremona Facibat Anno 1690' rather than the label from where the instrument was manufactured is fascinating to me. Not sure why they would place such a label there, rather than their factory.
Instead of taking up more of your valuable time, I want to express my gratitude for your assistance and recommendations. I will absolutely sing the praises of Corilon and am thrilled with my purchase. Thank you very much!

Dear Dr Roeben,
Yesterday i've received in perfect condition the violin, i think it's a very good sound instrument, strong and resonant, at 650 euro it's a sort of miracle! To my musicians friends i suggest certainly Corilon instruments.
Best regards

Hello Dr Roeben ,
Just a quick note to let you know that the Mirecourt bow I purchased for a friend has arrived in NZ safely and has been deemed to be a most acceptable gift.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards,
E. S.

Dear Dr. Annette T. M. Roeben,
It was a long journey. The violin has arrived just now.
I am much satisfied with this violin. Good sound and nice appearance!
Thank you very much.
Best regards,

Dear Corilon Violins,

I have been playing the Romedio Muncher violin now for nearly a month and I would like to let you know that I am extremely pleased with my choice of violin and hope to be playing it for many years.
I would like to thank your team for the hospitality that I found when I arrived and the assistance to ensure that I chose the right instrument for me.
It would be useful for me to know what restoration was done by Corilon on this Violin and if you know of any history behind it that you may be aware of.
Also, if I know of anyone else looking to buy a violin, I will direct them to your website.
Best Regards,
R.

Dear Corilon,

Dear Dr. R.,

Thank you very much for your recommendation and for your good service.
Best,
