The ZS Strings Maggini Model Workshop Violin offers exceptional tonal performance and craftsmanship at an accessible price. Built in small workshop batches and carefully hand-finished, this instrument delivers the responsiveness and tonal depth often associated with much more expensive violins.
Unlike many oversized Maggini copies, this violin uses highly playable dimensions, making it comfortable for modern players while retaining the power and character of the historic Maggini design.
This particular instrument has been professionally set up and acoustically adjusted for tone and playability, ensuring it performs at a high level right out of the case.

Tone & Playing Characteristics
This Maggini model produces a powerful, projecting sound with excellent clarity. The voice is focused and responsive, with a brilliant upper register that sings easily while maintaining depth across the range.
The plates are finely graduated for a workshop instrument, suggesting careful hand finishing in smaller production runs. The result is an instrument that responds quickly under the bow and projects clearly in both solo and ensemble settings.
Setup & Components
This violin is professionally fitted with quality components and adjusted for optimal performance:
Strings: Warchal The Beast strings
Bridge: Aubert maple bridge
Fittings: Ebony fittings with heart-shaped pegs
Professional setup and tonal adjustment
The setup emphasizes balance, clarity, and playability, allowing the instrument to respond easily for both advancing students and serious players.
Varnish & Appearance
The violin features a hand-applied spirit varnish with gentle antiquing.
The finish is a rich reddish-brown over a warm golden ground, highlighting the wood and giving the instrument a classic old-world appearance.

Why This Violin Stands Out

A powerful and projecting violin
Professional setup and premium strings
A distinctive Maggini model with comfortable dimensions
Exceptional value for the level of craftsmanship
