This stunning violin was very recently handcrafted by Mrs. Angela Moneff in 2007. Angela is among Eastern Europe's finest luthiers, and surely one of Bulgaria's best female makers.
The mellow, rich and warm tone is soothing yet powerful. The tone is maturing daily with play and will improve greatly with time: read my guarantee.
The violin is equipped with fine hand carved rosewood fittings and can be sent with Evah Pirazzi strings (currently has Thomastic Vision Titanium strings). It is branded on the inside and accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity from the maker.
Played daily to "break in" the tone.

Customer Testimonial
"I just wanted to thank Rhiannon for her EXCELLENT customer service! She was knowledgeable, fair and quick to respond. It is nerve-wracking choosing a violin from the internet (our first time), but she made this experience pleasant and worry-free.
"We were looking for my 10 year old daughter's first full-size violin and had tried over 20 instruments locally, ranging in price from $2.6K to $7.5K. We wanted something that would take her all the way to high school and beyond. I'd heard about VSA's 2006 Gold medal winner for tone, Mr. Ming Jiang Zhu (MJZ)and wanted to try his VN-900 model. After describing to Rhiannon what we were looking for, she quickly listed the merits of the VN-900, switched the strings to Obligatos and matched a competing website's sale price.
"THEN, SHE DID SOMETHING UNEXPECTED: she advised me to look at the Angela Moneff violin from Bulgaria as well. This turned out to be a beautiful bench-made (by a woman!) Guarneri-style violin from the Kazanlak region or "Rose city" of Bulgaria. The beauty of this instrument: it will STILL IMPROVE with constant playing over time! [My daughter's] teacher quickly noted that the sound was NEW but also recognized that it would open up with constant playing. Since my daughter practices 2 hours or more a day, we look forward to this remarkable instrument improving in the coming months. [See attachment for our detailed review.]
"Thanks to Rhiannon's keen sense of matching the instrument to a player (even when we're SOOOO far away), we ended up buying a Moneff violin. If you are a serious violin student looking for great tone, clarity & projection from an instrument with the potential to open-up and do even greater things with time.... in addition to getting a good overall value, you should try the Moneff."

About Our Violins
All our violins have been carefully selected for their strong, clear tone and are luthier set up, including new bridge, soundpost and strings. Most used instruments have been upgraded with quality matching pegs, end button, tailpiece and chinrest.
Trades are considered towards the purchase price. Other instruments can be located and brought in upon request.
Regarding the authenticity of instrument labels, it is a tricky business to prove authenticity of instruments even for the finest luthiers. Sometimes the counterfeits can be finer than the originals! Therefore we regret that we cannot ensure the authenticity of used instruments unless they come with a certificate.
All instruments are sold as-is. An exception is with instruments with repaired cracks which open up, in which case we would have it repaired for you.

Trials are welcome in our shop (Salmon Arm, BC) or for 14 days in your home. More info
