A Tradition of Excellence

Kremona, a brand of highest reputation, creates each instrument with meticulous attention to detail. Traditional techniques, varnish recipes, exceptional setup, precise fittings, and the finest, well-seasoned tone woods from the Balkan regions combine in the creation of these superb instruments. The detailed workmanship that goes into Kremona violins is reflected in their immaculate quality and magnificent sound.

Superb Playability

Not only are Kremona violins exquisite in appearance and sound, but the comfortable playabiity and feel of the instrument is a testament to the incredible precision with which they are built. The upper register projects just as clearly as the lower with an evenness in tone rarely matched by instruments at much higher price points.

The Kremona VP3

An upgrade from the Kremona VP4, the Flamed VP3 is a model made with a Stadivarius design that is perfect for advancing performers. The authentic European touch is evident in the use of high-grade, aged Balkan maple and spruce tonewoods. The Kremona VP3 Violin has an incredibly rich, warm tone, a result of Kremona’s excellent craftsmanship and precise carving of the top and bottom plates. We offer the Kremona VP3 in the full-size (4/4) model.

This violin is resplendent in tone with a classic look, embellished with 100% high-grade ebony fittings and beautifully colored with choice spirit varnish. The VP3 comes with the following features:

• Kremona certificate of authenticity, signed by the owner
• handcarved, seasoned Balkan tonewoods
• tight-grained spruce top and flamed maple back
• hand-carved French Aubert bridge
• high-grade ebony fittings, fingerboard, and chinrest
• traditional-recipe spirit varnish
• authentic, inlaid ebony purfling

Professional violinists describe the VP3’s sound as rich, strong, projective, and warm. The ease of playability is phenomenal, even in the highest positions.
