At Menzel Violins we have a passion for finding the best
sounding instruments at every price point.
Because of our unusally large inventory, you can
select several instruments within your price range and
compare them. Our salon provides an elegant and
comfortable setting for you to audition your selections.
An instrument's price is
determined by who made it, where it was made, and how well
it was made -- not by how well it sounds. A designer
jacket will not keep one warmer but its label will cost
you more.
