Nicholas Gand violins are unique from any other instrument in this price category, in that they are crafted by one master maker from beginning to end. The result is a violin that exemplifies the beautiful sound and attention to every detail that is produced by superior craftsmanship. These violins come strung with your choice of genuine D'Addario Zyex strings or Thomastik-Infeld Dominants.

Nicholas Gand violins are a joy for any violinist to play.  These violins feature aged tone woods of the highest quality.  The wood is grown in cold, high climates.  Not only are all Gands made completely by hand, but each violin is crafted by one master maker, instead of the "parting out" method, where each part is made by a separate person. Each Gand is varnished with a beautiful French oil finish, that is not only glorious to look at, but enables each violin to resonate to its full potential. These violins are custom fitted with a genuine French Despiau bridge. These bridges allow the player to easily manipulate even the smallest tone color.

 The sound of the violin is typically described by our professional violin testers as: sweet, strong, projective and dark. 

 The violin also comes with:

 A very durable case that features 100% full suspension and has a "tri-lock" system, to insure that not only will the case remain closed, but it has redundant locking systems, to provide back-up if one fails.  It also has a large compartment inside for a shoulder rest or rosin and an outside pocket for music.

Other case options include Oblong, Half-Moon, and Arrow Shaped, with interior color options of emerald green, royal blue, and ruby red
