A Violin Worth Growing Into

"I love this violin! It has a beautiful sound." - Irena K.

The McNeela Virtuoso Violin is built for the player who’s ready to step into something more. More resonance. More precision. More confidence in every note.

Crafted for advancing adult musicians, this is the violin that meets you at your current level and takes you further.

Whether you’re returning to your musical journey or refining your tone in sessions and lessons, the Virtuoso is your next step forward.

What makes it so special?

It’s based on the iconic ‘Messiah’ Stradivarius model of 1716, brought to life with 20+ year aged spruce and maple, a bespoke French-made bridge, and a finish that looks as beautiful as it sounds. Every detail is chosen to help you play with more ease, depth, and expression.

Bonus: The Virtuoso comes ready to play, complete with a responsive carbon fibre bow, premium rosin, and a velvet-lined wooden case, all free.

Special Offer: Order now and you’ll get FREE Priority Shipping worldwide.

Watch: Don’t miss the video below, where you can hear Paraic and Aoife Ní Bhriain showcase its rich tone and balanced projection.

Tone That Turns Heads

Infeld Blue strings are known for their warmth, clarity, and balanced projection, and they’re the perfect fit for the Virtuoso. These strings work beautifully with the aged tonewoods and Despiau bridge, giving you a voice that carries and connects, no matter the room or tune.
