L.C. Yu Master Violin
Expert in tone adjustment and setup.
L.C. Yu is a violinmaker that takes a different approach in violinmaking. He is obsessed in making micro adjustments in violinmaking and setup. He is convinced 90% of all violins made in the world can be improved at least 50% just by micro adjusting the setup. And before his retirement, he was the violin first chair in the Chinese Liberation Army Symphony Orchestra. Being an expert player also makes him able to know exactly what adjustments is pleasing to a player and what a player most wants in a violin. If you want a player’s violin, there’s no better choice than L.C. Yu’s violins.
- Self formulated varnish.
- Easy to play instantly. Perfect setup.

Joseph Ding Master Violin
Promising 38yo young maker based in Shanghai.
Joseph Ding has been making violins for more than 25 years, despite his tender age. He learnt his violinmaking from his teacher/relative JH Wang, one of the most famous violinmaker to graduate from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Joseph is a perfectionist, and because of this he does not make a lot of violins in a year. Some say he is too stringent to be commercially viable in the Chinese violinmaking scene, but that may be his winning points in the long run. Right now, we are happy to bring his rare work to the world. Get his violins now before he turns into one of those great violinmaking masters.
- Self formulated oil varnish.
- Excellent in tone with powerful projection. Definitely a solo instrument.
- 24 years naturally aged spruce and maple from Italy.
- Quite possibly to become a highly sort after violinmaker in future and hence has a great unlocked potential in the violin’s value.
