London 4–String Violin

Powerful and focused...warm and mellow...

Expertly set up by Gary for optimal tone and response, our London 4-string offers an exciting combination of exquisite looks and rewarding sound.

With fine wood selection, sophisticated antiquing, and a rich and liquid tone, you'll find the London 4-string is at home in the orchestra, the chamber hall or the practice hall. For the serious player who would rather not mortgage the homestead yet still own a superb violin.

And because our internal pickups accurately amplify the tone of the instrument in which it is fit, the London offers the most complex amplified tone of any of our 4-string offerings.

Hear the warmth...

Our audio clips – recorded in Gary's Warehouse Studio – showcase the acoustic and amplified tone of the London 4-String.
