Additional Company Info: Over 50 years ago, Cremona Violins outfits were developed specifically for the vibrant and growing educational community to successfully meet or exceed the needs of parents, students, and teachers at every level. Each instrument harkens back to a tradition that began centuries ago in ITALY - the cradle of violin making – and is still renowned for introducing the finest, best sounding, and most valuable instruments ever created. Since their introduction, Cremona violins have been considered by many to be a pioneer in the development of educational string instruments, and one of the first American companies to import violins directly from China for distribution in the USA and to more than 50 countries world-wide. To this day, Cremona continues to be a leading brand that many have tried to emulate Cremona can also be credited with many “industry firsts,” including the introduction of traditional Italian violin construction techniques to China, as well as exotic hardwoods used for fittings, global sourced tonewoods, as well as bridges from France and premium strings - all with the intention of offering the finest orchestral string instrument outfits that anyone could afford. Cremona has also played a key role in defining international sizing and specification standards as required by educators around the world by adhering to MENC mandates as well as recommendations from discerning experts in the field from around the world. Using this knowledge and expertise, our luthiers continue to focus on quality and value by perfecting traditional finish techniques, refining production processes and distribution methods; further solidifying our stellar reputation in the now cluttered field of educational string instruments. Notable hallmarks to our success include hand-crafted instrument with lightweight construction and meticulous attention to every detail; assuring quality workmanship, exceptional tone, playability and value that exceeds the expectations of parents, teachers and students everywhere. Each Cremona Outfit or Bundle is equipped with everything the aspiring musician needs to succeed, including high-quality Prelude strings at initial setup in our US workshop, a resilient and dependable Brazilwood bow, rosin and a lightweight case that is durable, reliable and easy to carry. In addition to all the features of our Cremona outfits, Cremona's new Orchestral Bundles (available in certain models) includes even more accessories to enhance the player experience like a lightweight shoulder rest for comfort, and an extra set of Anton Breton Perlon strings to add even more value.
