Traditional violins are constructed by joining up to 30 pieces of wood most of which comprise the sides or garland. By eliminating the garland and sculpting the instrument from 2 solid blocks of high grade tone wood the vibrational energy flows uninterrupted between the top and back which are carefully graduated to produce an acoustic violin like no other in existence.

After observing the strengths and weaknesses of traditional violin construction over more than three centuries Damon VanderBarr has been inspired to design the Classic Violin to be as tonally responsive and durable as possible.

Eliminating the chin rest clamp, reducing the scrolls and electrifying the instrument make the VanderBarr Classic Violin light weight, comfortable and versatile in a wide variety of playing conditions. Even the flared end pin, designed to relieve the end button pressure on your neck and act as a more effective hanger for a shoulder pad, is indicative of a careful conscientious rethinking of the violin from the perspective of a player and visionary craftsman dedicated to advancing the art of violin making.

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to step boldly into the future with the VanderBarr Classic Violin.
