And the Winners Are....

The Art of Sound International Violin Making Competition 2012 winners were announced Saturday night.

Both panels of judges worked diligently and anonymously to choose the winners. There was an easy decision for them as the agreements on the most outstanding instruments in violin making and playability were independently and unanimously chosen.

You can view the instruments at our shop during regular hours until April 21. All of the instruments are for sale.
