Product Description
The most popular violin outfit for adults and an upgrade from the Carpini G3, the Louis Carpini G2 Violin is made with even more select maple and spruce tone woods. The G2 model is strung with professional steel-core D’Addario Prelude Strings for an even warmer, more refined sound and includes a higher quality bow and rosin.
Additional upgrades from the Carpini G3 include more time invested in the final stages of carving and setup to ensure better tone quality and projection from the violin. Listen to the Carpini played live in the following performance video to hear its strong, projectice sound quality.
Wood Selection & Flame
Wood is hand-selected by master luthiers with properties such as higher grades of wood grain and significant amounts of flame in the back plate. Both the attention to detail in setup as well as the quality and beauty of the wood increases the value of the violin.

High Quality Violin
Posted by Thomas on 5th Feb 2013
The Louis Carpini G2 is a very nice, high quality violin. Kennedy Violins setup of the violin makes it even better. The tone, sound quality and sound volume are exceptional. The eco-case and octigonal bow that come with the violin are equally as impressive.

First Violin for teen.
Posted by K. Moy on 27th Nov 2012
My 14 year old developed an interest in learning to play the violin. After
doing some research, he found that he needed a full size 4/4 violin. Because of his age and desire to learn, we decided to purchase a violin rather than rent one. The rental for a commitment of 2 years would be more than the purchase price of a violin, so, I began looking on line. Our local violin shop had student violins for sale but the cost was out of our budget range. I found a website called Violinist.com which provided information about the selection of a beginner violin. It was on this site that I found Kennedy Violins. I really liked that your site provided information on the different violins and that we were able to listen to the individual violins before making our decision. I also liked your trial period (45days) and return policy. After listening to the Ricard Bunnel G2, G1, the Louis Caprini G3 and G2 (these were the violins within our budget), we decided on the Louis Caprini G2.
We ordered the Violin on a Sunday night, Nov. 11th and the Violin arrived Friday, No. 16th. When our son opened the package, he was so excited.
The violin case was sturdy and roomy, the violin itself was beautiful! When he brought the violin to his first lesson, the teacher had to tune it just a bit. After that she played the violin and was surprised at the brightness and the projection of the sound that it produced. When my son played it during his lesson, he had no trouble producing good sound. She commented that sometimes with student violins, the pupils have trouble playing the instrument, so the ease of play is definitely a plus. She also thought the entire outfit was really good quality. She even commented on the good quality rosin that came with the violin. When she asked me what the cost of the entire outfit was, she was pleasantly surprised.
My son has had two lessons so far and is enjoying his new violin very much. He especially likes the way it feels and sounds. The best part is
that he can't wait to finish his homework so he can practice his violin!
(This was not the case with his piano and flute!) And we all enjoy his practices.
Thank you Kennedy Violins for the great work that you do to encourage budding violinists!

Just got my G2, so excited. It looks absolutely beautiful with the tiger stripped backing. It sounds wonderful, I no longer have to use an amp with my silent violin. It showed up just in time because my silent violin's electronics just died ; ( . It showed up at my door exactly when they said it would. I love the case and all of its compartments and that it can hold more than one bow. Looking forward, to many years of enjoyment.
P.S.-Thanks for the little candies. Unfortunately, my mother stole them both, she said they were good.

Amazing
Posted by Paige on 12th Apr 2012
I love my Violin the sound is just right and when you first get it you smell the wood and you can just tell that it was wonderfully crafted. The sound is loud, deep, and rich, and for me was a grate upgrade form the glossy beginner "popped out of some machine in Germany" violin I had before hand. This Beautiful the Tiger Maple (personally my favorite violin backing) just shines. Seance it was so much better then my previous violin it encouraged me to practice more often because it just feel so much better to not have this thing not screeching but making music next to your ear. And I plan for this violin to be the violin that I keep probably for the rest of my life ,so long as nothing happens to it ;(, I love it so much.
