Holstein German Maestro Violin from Fiddlershop

The story behind every Holstein German Maestro 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 an additional 30 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 Maestro 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 Maestro, 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.

While the simplest translation of "Maestro" means "Teacher," musicians use the term as a sign of respect for their colleagues. Historically, the conductor of an orchestra would be referred to as the "Maestro," however, in the modern era it is a gesture of admiration and esteem regardless of status.

The Holstein German Maestro is an excellent choice for any style and ability. The tone of each instrument is unique and generally produces a very deep, direct and iconic sound. With the power to fill an entire hall, and sensitive for even the most intimate of gatherings, the violin nimbly responds to the desires of the performer.

The Setup
Holstein Custom violins are set-up with premium quality fittings and strings to bring the most out of the instrument. The Despiau Three Tree bridge is hand-carved and fitted by our luthiers during the setup process to perfectly match the unique conditions of each violin.

The soundpost, or soul of the instrument is crafted and adjusted in our shop using the highest quality spruce, and meticulously adjusted and tested before shipping to help the violin sing clearly and respond quickly.
