Crafted for intermediate-level musicians eager to elevate their playing, the Knilling Alborada violin offers developing players the support they need to advance their technique while also delivering performance-quality tone and encouraging musical expression. This inspiring instrument features solid-wood construction, comprising a carved spruce top and carved flame maple back and ribs, finished in an eye-grabbing Italian oil varnish. Moreover, premium ebony fittings, including a high-quality tailpiece, and a Despiau 2-tree bridge add to this violin’s overall appeal.
In 1922, Austrian immigrant Bernard Kornblum began importing German violins to the United States after answering a newspaper ad, branding them in honor of celebrated 19th-century luthier Johann Knilling. These meticulously crafted instruments offered remarkable value, providing the cornerstone for his small St. Louis violin shop, which eventually grew into St. Louis Music. During the surge in school music programs that followed World War II, Knilling became one of the leading student orchestral brands, earning the trust of educators through quality craftsmanship, precise adjustments, and innovative initiatives. Now entering its second century, Knilling remains attuned to the evolving needs of modern students and teachers while preserving the brand’s foundational passion for the violin.
