Review Videos
The story behind every Holstein German Impresario violin begins with quality selected tonewoods from the best regions of Bavaria, Austria, Switzerland, and Bosnia. We start with wood that is over 30 years old, dried and seasoned for 7-10 years. These violins are handcrafted with the greatest attention to detail in our German workshop that has over 25 years of experience making fine instruments.
The Impresario violin is handmade by three makers and raises the standard for affordable, hand made, European instruments. While many shops are content to use German sounding trade names for instruments not even made in Europe, the Holstein Impresario, named for our Founder and Fiddlerman himself, Pierre Holstein, represents an exciting new era of bringing the highest quality instruments from northern Bavaria to our global customer base.
An impresario is an individual who weaves together resources and opportunities to put on a show. They connect an abstract dream of a musical event with the drive and dedication to make it a reality. You can be an impresario of the arts whether it's organizing an entire opera production, or simply jamming with friends at a pub.
The Holstein German Impresario is an excellent choice for either situation, and everything in between. The tone of each instrument is unique and generally produces a very clean, direct and iconic sound. With the power to fill an entire hall, and sensitive for even the most intimate of gatherings, this violin is well suited for any style.
