EUROPEAN INFLUENCE

The violin emerged in its present form in Italy, France and Germany in the mid 1500s. The richness and true knowledge base of the art of violin building is embedded in Europe and the makers trained in the schools in those countries. From traveling worldwide, Golden Music has befriended many of the journeymen in this craft and hosts these violin dignitaries in our Golden shop year round. This influence not only assists our Luthiers in learning the depth of the European tradition, it paces our Music Product Specialists and owners in these values. Moreover, every instrument provided for you at Golden Music is an attempt give as much of this tradition as possible fused in it at many different price points and styles of instruments. Hence, for every instrument, we want to create the highest value of the European tradition and stylings in your price range.

GLOBAL SOURCES

How We Get our Violins. The store owners travel the world in search of the best instruments to bring to you.   We have been to many countries in Europe, Asia, and attended numerous trade shows internationally and in the United States. Each violin is hand-picked because of its tone quality and beautiful workmanship.  We meet with the makers, usually in their home workshops, to discuss and pick the instruments. We have pictures and videos of most of the makers.
