Knilling Violins
4 Main Elements in Choosing a Violin
Purchasing violins is often a tricky business. Most especially so because most of the time, buyers are often parents who want their kids to take up the violin, or adults who are taking up the instrument for the first time. Without knowing what to look for, buyers are often fooled into getting extremely expensive violins, when there is really no need to spend all that much. On the other hand, some buyers will purchase hundred dollar violins thinking that it will not make a difference, especially if they are purchasing the instrument for a child. Both types of buyers often regret their purchases and no matter how cheap or expensive the purchase, it was not money well spent. Check out these violins on Ebay right now!

Renowned fine instrument maker Knilling makes the violin selection process easier for us. According to Knilling, there are only four main elements that you should look out for when you are buying a violin. These four elements are as follows:
- The instrument has the ability to be played properly.
- The instrument must have the ability to be tuned properly.
- It must have the capacity to generate an adequately pleasing sound.
- It must have a structured soundness and stability.
Their rationale for these four main key points is this. If the violin is hard to handle, or is very uncomfortable, the student will not want to play the violin, especially if the student is a child. If the violin cannot be tuned properly, then it is a useless lump of wood. If the violin cannot produce a pleasing musical sound, it will not be played. If the violin cannot be used regularly for fear that it is too fragile, or if it does break from normal wear and tear, then it is not a good violin to begin with.
The theory of the Knilling Company is actually very sound, practical and requires only common sense for us to understand it. And according to them, the only difference between a good violin and a bad one is the ability of the manufacturer or maker to convert wood into a musical instrument that will deliver the four essential elements as discussed above. Needless to say, these four essential elements can be used to describe Knilling violins.
Knilling violins are made in the Knilling Custom Shop which can be found in St. Louis, Missouri. The Knilling Custom Shop, is as its name implies, one which has excellent craftsmen who are dedicated in pursuing these four essential elements in order to make only the best violins that will be used, loved and cherished by students until they are seasoned violinists.
This is because Knilling violins are composed of bridges that are hand carved so that they have a precise fit. Violin bridges should have feet that are flush to the top part, in order that the transmission of sound from the violin is enhanced. Proper string height and spacing also plays a big role so that a violin can be played properly. That is why Knilling makes sure that all their violins have proper string height and spacing.
But these are just two of the reasons why you should invest in a Knilling violin for yourself or for your child. Discover more about Knilling violins for yourself by trying one out today.
