A guide to buying a good violin, viola or cello for our Swiss customers
Most people who are looking for a good Violin, viola, cello or bow in Switzerland start out by going to a violin shop. At most violin shops, however, the selection is tailored to beginners or students, which does not meet the needs of advanced musicians, let alone professionals. Luthiers in the region are often a better place to find high-quality violins, violas, celli, basses and bows. These violin makers offer customized consultation and competent assistance, yet at the same time they frequently feature only a small number of instruments. If neither of these sources leads to a suitable instrument, all that remains is the Internet, which can be bewildering in its boundlessness: the range of new and old violins is nearly endless, and it is extremely difficult to assess their quality, condition and value through the monitor of your computer.
