The Bartok is Back! Even better than the original, which truly changed the market worldwide for the artistic advanced and pre-professional player.  Hundreds of the most advanced high school, college, and adult players happily play on their 'lifetime' instrument, the Kallo Bartok!  Solid, hand carved European woods of the highest quality and expertly applied spirit varnish lightly antiqued to replicate aged master musical instruments, the Kallo Bartok violin is made partially in Romania, and finished in Italy (neck, graduation, varnish) with the guidance and assistance of our Master maker Man Claudiu - truly the first violin of such tremendous tonal and aesthetic quality to also be affordable. The tone of the Kallo Bartok violin is nothing short of equal to the beauty of the instrument itself. With magnificent resonance throughout the registers, a brilliant upper register and deep, rich lower register, this musical instrument is truly for the consummate violinist looking for an instrument that is a visual and tonal masterpiece.  Available with ebony fittings of the highest quality - Boxwood by special request.  "I purchased a Bartok violin over 20 years ago as an adult player. I LOVE this violin. This instrument has aged wonderfully and sounds better now than when I purchased it. I live in NY and I remember finding your company in its inception and purchasing this beautiful instrument solely based on the pictures and reviews. I am so glad I did! Thank you for creating an instrument that has given me so much joy! I recommend it to everyone! Lisa G."
