The Kennedy Violins Difference
What makes our string instruments the best on the market? We purchase each violin directly from the maker — a rare practice that allows us to set high quality standards and lower the cost — passing the savings on to you.
Crafted with Care
All final assembly and FREE SETUP is performed locally in our Washington State shop by professional luthiers. Your violin is ready to fine-tune and play from the moment you open the case.
Experience the Difference!
With both the highest-rated violins and customer care in the U.S., we are the only company confident enough to back up our instruments. Experience the Kennedy Violins difference today!
