The violins listed on this page represents some of the finest currently available in South Africa, ranging from advanced and intermediate upgrades to professional and concert quality solo instruments. Each instrument is in impeccable condition and set up tonally to very highest level, aiming to achieve ease of response, focus, projection and power, putting at the player’s disposal a rich palette of colour gradations throughout the register.
Johan Grobbelaar, who is a former professional violinist, personally sets up each violin, testing its response and making required adjustments to achieve the highest tonal standard.
The violins are listed from the finest at the top to the intermediate instruments further down. Child violins are listed separately below. And further down are listed any restorable violins which may be available, and which are sold ‘as is’.
In the listing below click on the link to see a page dedicated to the particular instrument, complete with expert and honest commentary, technical information, but above all, superb high resolution photos allowing you to observe the minutest details of the violin, as if you have it in your hand. Try it. You’ll love it !
