Product Information

Crafted for advanced musicians, the Prestigioso Handmade Violin is an exquisite instrument ideal for players progressing towards Grade 8 and beyond. Featuring impeccable craftsmanship and rich tonal flexibility, this violin allows for a sound range that can be tailored to suit the player's needs, from brilliant to warm, and from focused to broad harmonics.

Key Specifications:

  • Recommended up to Grade 8

  • Customizable tonal choices: Brilliant to Warm and Focused to Subtle Broad Harmonics

  • Handcrafted quality ensuring consistency and sound excellence

Professionally set up at Bridge Street Violins, the Prestigioso has been designed to meet the demands of orchestral musicians and advanced solo performers. Whether you're after a pure, resonant sound or a warmer, more subtle tone, this violin will deliver the sound you need to elevate your performance.

Custom Sound Setup – Tailored to Your Playing Style

Every violinist has a unique sound preference, which is why we offer a personalised setup service. Our luthier will adjust the soundpost position and bridge cut to reflect your choice of tone and focus, ensuring the instrument responds exactly as you need. The strings will also be selected to match your desired sound profile. If you have a specific string preference, we encourage you to contact us, and we will be happy to accommodate your request.

Warm vs. Brilliant

A warm tone emphasises the lower register, often described as deep, dark, or soulful—similar to the richness of a low whistle. A brilliant tone enhances the higher register, producing a clear and projecting sound, perfect for soloists who need to be heard over an orchestra. Many brilliant-sounding strings have a metal core, making them favoured by folk musicians for cutting through the sound of bagpipes and other instruments.

Focus vs. Broad Harmonics

Think of this as a laser beam vs. a flashlight. A focused sound delivers a precise, single-frequency tone that projects cleanly, much like a laser cutting through space. A broad harmonic sound, in contrast, takes a fraction longer to develop and includes a wider spread of overtones, creating a richer and more immersive tonal experience. Both styles offer unique benefits, and we will tailor the setup of your violin to match your personal playing style and musical needs.

Professional Set-Up

At Bridge Street Violins, we offer a comprehensive professional setup that goes above and beyond the basic factory setup provided by most other shops. Each violin is carefully adjusted by our expert luthier to ensure optimal sound and playability. Depending on the instrument, this setup may include:

  • Peg adjustment

  • Fingerboard resurfacing (if necessary)

  • Top nut adjustment

  • Sound post and bridge fitting

  • String height adjustments

  • Tailored settings for enhanced playing comfort

This service ensures your violin is fully prepared for high-quality performance, tailored to your individual needs. It’s a level of care that sets us apart from other retailers who typically offer a basic factory setup.

Violin Care Tips

To keep your violin in great condition and ensure it maintains its best sound, we recommend the following care tips:

  • Storage: Always store your violin in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity, as these can affect the wood.

  • Cleaning: Clean your violin regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and rosin build-up. Be careful not to touch the varnish with your fingers.

  • String Care: Check your strings for wear and replace them when necessary. Avoid over-tightening the strings, as this can cause unnecessary stress on the instrument.

  • Bow Maintenance: Loosen the bow hair after playing and wipe the stick with a dry, soft cloth to remove rosin dust, preventing build-up and protecting the finish.

Customer Support

If you have any questions or need assistance at any point during your purchase or after receiving your violin, our team is here to help. Whether you have inquiries about delivery, setup, or care, feel free to contact us, and we'll be happy to assist.
