Corilon violins

Coilon violins is a treasure! In the process of identifying and locating a viola bow to play with one of my violins set up with octave strings, I found the baroque violin that I had been searching for. This splendid instrument arrived set up and I was away playing like it had always been in my fingers! The experts were so helpful with their advice and I know that I have an instrument whose value monetary and creative will continue to increase! Thank you so much for helping me on my way to achieving my long held dreams!

They provided me answers to all my questions before the purchase. The delivery was fast, efficient and the violin arrive well packed Regarding the violon, as described with wonderful harmonic, nice red-ish color, even better than expected. I am really satisfy with this violin and will recommend highly this shop.

I bought a very fine violin from Corilon, the Guarneri Opus 1. I am very satisfied with the violin, a beautiful instrument with a wonderful sound, properly set and arrived to me ready to be played. I think that going for Corilon is one of the best options we have in Europe to buy fine string instrument online. I can recommend their customer service that I found really quick and competent.

In the past year, I had two violins sent one after the other from Corilon based only on an internet offer. One new, master 7/8, and then one bigger. - Both came from the hands of master fiddlers working for Corilon. In neither case did I regret it! For a very decent, not exorbitant price, I got exactly what was advertised in the offer: Beautifully made and beautiful sounding instruments. - Especially in terms of sound, fully matching the verbal description and the demo recording.

As much as I was worried that the tone of the demo recording would be somehow distorted compared to the reality, my fears turned out to be unnecessary in both cases. Therefore, I can warmly recommend choosing and buying an instrument from Corilon for myself, especially to every active musician who is looking for not only a beautiful and reliable instrument, but especially a very good sounding instrument.

And in addition, there is a very pleasant negotiation, as well as certain guarantees from the company. Of course, in both cases the violins were sent to me immediately in safe packaging.

Good morning, I wanted to share my positive experience of shopping at Corilon violins twice. Each time I received, as quickly as possible, a high-quality violin that looked and sounded as described, and I was impressed with the work put in by the Corilon luthiers to perfectly position the instruments for the best possible resonance. In addition, I am grateful to Dr. Annette Roeben for quick and precise answers to all my questions, which was very helpful to me in making the decision to purchase this unique violin. Well, dreams have to come true and I did it. Thank you Corilon. Maria

Fantastic product! Sounds quality is superb. Perfect built quality. Thank you very much Corilon violins for sending a best product.

I highly recommend Corilon violins! I contacted them about the type of instrument I was interested in and found communication to be excellent. Dr. Annette Roeben guided me through the process of selecting the perfect violin and bow that matched my situation. The instrument arrived promptly, well packed and ready to play. It is a beautiful instrument that is cherished. If you love history and great sounding instruments you can't go wrong with Corilon.

Never thought we could buy an antique violin online, but it turned out to be one of the best experience ever. Strongly recommended to anyone who has difficulties sourcing locally.

Dear Dr Roeben, I am happy with my violin which I purchased 4 months ago. The setup is good with a new set of strings, and its sound is as described online. The online photos are very accurate. Although the photos show all blemishes on the varnish, these are hardly noticeable on the real violin. This violin is a joy to play. Thank You. Larry (Singapore)

Took me a long long while of checking on web and ended up placing with Corilon. large selections, good recordings, descriptions on various perspectives of the instrument were very factual and informative, my questions were answered promptly and to the point, Dr Roeben is really professional and won my respect promptly. instrument shipped was exactly as said, label of origin etc and condition was better than what what I have expected, violin condition, bow re-haired both were "like-new" as in antique instrument sense (wish you know what I mean). without asking, the bow was re-confirmed matched with the violin before they were shipped out. shipment was clean and prompt, well packaged including the case etc every step was down to details. i am totally impressed and literally had a big big smile as i opened the package and went through "my precious". i think i was lucky to made the right decision with Corilon. the shopping experience was definitely better than all the other options I came across even local shops you can shop so relax but well informed and can make up decision without undue pressure from sales persons. well deserved a five star and double thumbs up. well done Corilon, please keep up the good work and we'll all be lucky shoppers. have to add price was very competitive too! i will definitely come back on my next purchase (ie for my kids when they are ready)

Amazing customer service! The violin arrived in perfect condition to Argentina. I totally recommend Corilon Violins to everyone!

I write this review as a purchaser of 3 instruments. I am not a professional musician but did play the viola from 2nd grade to high school. My 12 year old son plays in orchestra; classical music is hyper competitive in the Washington, D.C. Area. Dr. Roeben can select instruments when you give enough information on what you want. Two years earlier, we happened to find her shop while on vacation in Germany.

She picked out the violin which we bought. After emailing this time around on specifics for a new violin and price, she again picked another fine violin. I did test out 15 violins before concluding that the one she picked was the best choice. Clearly as a German based shop, she has the widest selection of German instruments. Still she does get fine instruments made in Italy and other countries.

I did purchase for my son an Italian made violin and a Czech made Viola for my younger son. Happily the viola just arrived shipped from Germany the other week. I had personally brought my older son's violin and bow with me via airplane. Very pleased with this place and recommend highly. John Choi, MD, MPH, FAAN, Washington, D.C., USA
