First String Instruments
All musical instruments produce sound as they vibrate, and the volume and quality of the sound is determined by the resonance. To resonate freely, the wood must be free to vibrate, so, for this reason, we offer first violins made only of solid wood tops and backs, where the wood is pressed into shape. This delivers the benefits of solid wood without the costs associated with higher priced instruments which are carved into shape. We do not offer violins made of plywood as their resonance and tone is severely limited. Also, as solid wood ages, it becomes more flexible producing an even more beautiful tone. The sound of plywood will not "sweeten" with age.

Spruce tops and maple backs and sides provide the best combination of woods for stringed instruments. In addition, look for ebony hardware on your violin. Ebony is an extremely hard and dense wood that resists wear and is ideal for stringed instrument hardware (fingerboards, tuning pegs, and tailpieces). Lastly, all violins offered by MUES are shop-adjusted to provide the best playability available!

Stringed instruments are available in different sizes to fit younger students as they grow. The following steps will help you determine which size instrument is needed. First, in a standing position, raise one arm straight out in front of the body, with the palm up. Next, using a yardstick, measure from the top (center) of the shoulder at the neck to the middle of the palm. Record this number and use when ordering.

For the Dedicated Student
These violins feature carved solid woods. This allows for the top and back to actually be "tuned" to a pitch which increases the resonance of the instrument. Depending on price, carving is done by machine or by hand. Higher quality woods such as close-grained spruce and flamed maple produce the finest tone. Combined with higher quality strings these instruments deliver the highest quality performance and value.
