This violin is strung with Infeld Dominant strings, widely trusted by professionals and teachers alike for their warm, rich, and responsive tone. Combined with a solid spruce top and maple back and sides, the instrument delivers clarity, resonance, and volume well beyond its price bracket.
“Excellent, very easy to play and has a warm sound with good projection. You won’t find many like it for the money.” - Zac A.

Constructed from hand-carved European tonewoods that have been aged for decades, there’s not a detail on this violin that’s been forgotten. Modern finishing techniques, gorgeous traditional looks, hand-fitted finishing touches, and a sound that sings, the Advanced Violin has it all.
From the hand-fitted sound post to the French-made Aubert bridge, you can’t miss the quality and care that make it special.
Great sound, great value… The McNeela violin is a quality instrument and comes with everything you'll need to get started. I look forward to many happy hours learning how to play it.” - Patrick G.

This affordable set delivers the materials, sound, and feel of instruments almost double the price. Between the Dominant strings, premium bow, and quality build, it’s not just a good deal, it’s a serious upgrade from the usual "student violin" standard.
Each violin is professionally set up by our team before it leaves the McNeela workshop, so it arrives truly ready to play. Its great sound and easy playability right out of the box inspire more time with the instrument and build confidence as you go. Add in our in-house customer service and you’ll be playing away, worry-free.
Each violin is hand-finished with an elegant antique varnish, giving it a rich, timeless appearance that looks as good as it sounds. The fine-grain tonewoods and tasteful purfling add to its refined, artisan character.
Everything you need is included: a carbon fibre bow for agile handling, Italian rosin for smoother tone production, a full spare set of Dominant strings, and a padded case for safe storage and travel. Plus, it’s set up professionally in our workshop before we send it out to you. No upgrades or extras to manage, it’s ready to go.

violin for you?
When we say “designed by musicians, for musicians”, we mean it. We spend years developing our instruments, working with other music professionals and instructors to gather insight and feedback the whole way.
Every improvement on this violin has been guided by that process, and I’m incredibly proud of the results! It’s specially designed for players like you to reach your goals and play more of the music you love.
Plus, each one is carefully set up here in the workshop before it’s shipped to you, and our team is here for any questions you have.
