Violins from the Workshop of Xuechang Sun

Fiddleheads carries lovely violins from the workshop of award-winning maker Xue Chang Sun, one of the finest stringed instrument makers in China. 

About Xuechang Sun - The Instruments - Left-Handed models

 

About Xue Chang Sun

A luthier since the 1960's, Mr. Xuechang Sun has won many awards including a Gold medal for craftmanship and a Silver medal for tone in cello making at the National Violin Making Competition in China (1987) and a certificate of merit for bass workmanship at the 15th International Violin Society of America (VSA) Competition and Exhibition (2002).

Mr. Sun's worksmanship has been appreciated among some of the most prestigious luthiers and shops in Asia, Europe, Canada and the United States and his instruments are played by student to professional players around the world.

Mr. Sun's luthier work has been in such demand, leading to the creation and expansion of his popular workshop line. These instruments are crafted by advanced apprentices studying under and closely supervised by Mr. Sun personally.

The Instruments

Fiddleheads carries the most popular VN-100 model and the special commissioned VN-102 antiqued model.

VN-100

VN-102

These instruments provide fantastic value for the money and are highly reviewed by our customers. The tone is fantastic for this price range and warms with play. In fact, we are so happy with these violins that our own Fiddleheads Violin School students are encouraged to play the VN-100 once they have played for a few years and the VN-102 is used by our students in their Royal Conservatory 5th to 7th grade level.

The instruments are simply far superior to anything else in their respective price ranges.

These workshop-made instruments have slightly (VN-100) to moderately (VN-102) flamed scroll, neck and ribs. The two-piece back is well flamed (click on photos for closeups) and the instruments are finished with an oil varnish.
