The Beginning:
When we set out more than thirty years ago to meet the needs of
students, parents and teachers for affordable, high quality, violin
family instruments, our ultimate goal was to increase the number
of people who make music on bowed instruments.
We knew from the beginning how important the quality and
accessibility of a student’s first instrument is in determining who
gets a chance to play, who succeeds and who quits in frustration.
This has resulted in our ability to eliminate the two biggest deterrents
to a beginner’s success: the high cost of getting started and poorly
made instruments and bows. In the process, Cremona has become
a market leader among the world’s most popular and respected
violin lines.
Primary Objectives:
• Focus attention where it matters most…done.
• Maintain existing affordable prices…done.
• Push the quality envelope…done.
• Comparable item numbers mean comparable specs…done.
We developed several innovations in design, materials and man-
ufacturing methods that have resulted in the finest combination of
features available at each price point without astronomical prices.
• Finish
The translucent, warm brown finish, painstakingly applied in multiple,
thin coats, allows the beauty of wood and craftsmanship to shine
through—fostering pride in the student.
• Bows: J.LaSalle®LB-13 Series Octagonal Bows
Many professional players prefer the playing qualities of an
octagonal bow. The J. LaSalle®LB-13 Series Bows feature high
quality octagonal Brazilwood stick, ebony frog, quality fittings and
genuine unbleached white horsehair. Balance, response and overall
playability are excellent.
• Cases: Travelite®TL-33, TL-20 & Featherweight®C-3905
Our exclusive, Travelite®TL-33 is included with Cremona Student
Violin and Viola Outfits. This precision-engineered, full-suspension,
wood-reinforced, arch top, structural foam case features padded
