There are 33 violins for sale from the Mario Cesare collection. They are the best violin instruments that you can buy as they have been brought to "like new" condition by the best luthier in our area. In the collection you can find examples of student violins, a child violin, as well as French, Italian and German violins for sale. We also display the violins and bows that we have sold. We included them for your pleasure and to establish our credibility as a seller of integrity.

While repairing and marketing this collection we have learned how to establish value to a violin and then built this site to market them. Now we have adapted it as a tool for those who are inexperienced in the violin market. From perusing the collection and reading the articles you should be able to put a value to your violin.

If you have inherited a violin you will find that you may have inherited a violin bow and it may be as valuable as the violin you received. You will be able to value them from the information you can find from here.

Our number one goal for 2011 is to build our violin community. First we want to build our local community of luthiers, players, schools and orchestras. But also we want to build our connections in other locations world wide. In particular we want to build relationships with luthieries throughout the world. We receive requests for help from hundreds of people each year who need the services of luthiers of integrity to help them value their heirlooms.

Bookmark this site and you will be only a click away from getting whatever you need for your violin or for your violinist.

We have also included a comparison of the latest in violins, the Electric Violin.
