Old violins and antique violins
Old violins and antique violins are valued for their rarity and historical value and have been played by various musicians. Crafted by master violin makers from renowned European schools of Germany, France and Italy, old and antique violins have stood the test of time, resonating with rich tones and a warm, mature sound. As usually high quality handwork, old violins are passed down from generation to generation. Antique violins usually exhibit a unique tonal quality and maturity in sound that has developed over time. It is common knowledge that an old violin usually sounds better than a new one - but old violins are usually no more expensive than new violins of the same craftsmanship quality, up to a certain price range.
New violin or old violin - which violins sound better?
There is no law of nature that says a new or an old violin will sound better or worse by itself. The decisive factor for a good sounding violin is above all the quality of the instrument, which is determined by many factors - from the material properties of the tonewood to the care of the workmanship and the correct intonation of the violin. It goes without saying, however, that many old violins are characterized by a special sound quality, a mature tone, which cannot be found in this form in newer instruments. Moreover, the artistic statements of historical violin makers, preserved in the sound of their antique instruments, are an interesting inspiration for musicians of our time. In Corilon's sales catalog you can find new violins with surprisingly good sound already in the low price segment.
How much does a good violin cost?
Price differences reflect the quality of a violin. But there is no law of nature according to which new violins must be more expensive or cheaper than old violins. A newly made master violin certainly costs more than an old but simpler student violin, and conversely, fine violins made by a historical master can be more expensive than a new instrument of the same tonal quality. A good violin can be purchased from Corilon violins starting at 600 Euros. For an overview of the prices of old and new violins, see our article on violin price and cost.
