Tower Strings Midnight Violin Outfit

The "Midnight" Violin

The Midnight violin is a great starter violin that anyone can afford! We opted to have an all-black version that is less expensive because the varnish time is considerably faster. It certainly helps that it's a darn cool-looking violin as well! We have never been happy with what the market had to offer in this price range. The set up, accessories, and quality of build is far above anything we have tested in this price range!

Every Tower Strings instrument will arrive to you ready to play out of the box. Great for Suzuki and NAfME (National Association for Music Education) students.

• 4/4 (full) size
• Solid-carved spruce and maple tonewoods
• Durable black metallic finish. The varnish glimmers like a midnight sky.

The Fiddlershop Family

Why is Fiddlershop growing so fast and revolutionizing the string instrument industry? We believe that music and instruments should be accessible to everyone at a price they can afford. Our founder Pierre Holstein (a.k.a. "Fiddlerman") works directly with makers in many different countries to produce only the best for our customers. With over 40 years as a professional violinist in orchestras around the world, he brings unmatched expertise in music and business to everything we do.

Every Tower Strings violin is set up and tested in our workshop to make sure it passes our rigorous 10-point inspection. Our incredibly talented team is here to help answer any questions you have, and make sure your instrument arrives safely. 

Caring for your violin will extend its lifespan. Wipe the rosin off the violin, fingerboard, and strings with a soft, dry cloth after each use.

Wood instruments are sensitive to temperature and humidity extremes. In dry climates and seasons, we recommend getting a room or case humidifier. The ideal humidity is 40-60%. Below that, the glue and wood can become brittle resulting in open seams or cracks. Never leave your instrument in a car or outdoors.
