Ensemble
Drifting along the Chicago River, one is immersed in a city where architectural epochs converge—Art Deco, Neoclassical, Gothic, and cutting-edge modernism coexist in a seamless dialogue of form and function.
The Ensemble series reflects this synthesis of tradition and progress. Like a true ensemble cast, the Ensemble series is composed of a diverse body of sounds and characteristics suited for both solo competition and orchestral performance. Founded on modern Italian violin-making traditions, the meticulous craftsmanship of our Ensemble violins adheres to the fundamental principles of classical lutherie while embracing contemporary refinements in tonal balance and response. Our Ensemble cast is designed for musicians of all levels who seek instruments with versatility and presence.

Stage
Over the past 50 years, fine violins have become treasured collectibles, commanding exceptional value. For most violin makers, direct access to such instruments is rare, leaving them to rely on books, blueprints, and imagination.
From its vast experience in the trade of old instruments rooted in close engagement with collectors and museums, the Chicago Violin Company has privileged access to the study and replication of some of the finest violins ever made.
The Stage series is a testament to this dedication, faithfully reproducing carefully selected originals in both tonal character and expressive potential. Whether capturing the essence of the 18th-century Golden Age or the brilliance of modern masterpieces, each instrument delivers an authentic and immersive experience.
