Givens Violins is happy to introduce the affordable and beauteous Pierre Marcel workshop violin from Belgium. With over 20 years of experience,  Pierre Marcel instruments are known and prized for outstanding craftsmanship, being visually appealing, and above all,  possessing mature color and depth of sound.  The Marcel Belgium #4 violin considered a “master grade” violin perfectly suited for the advancing player.  The violin back and sides are made of highly seasoned Bosnia maple with a choice spruce top.  Based upon the Guarneri Del Gesu 1742 model, the violin is finished with tastful antiquing and fetching in appearance.

The Pierre Marcel is fun and satisfying to play!  The sound is rich and clear with a lovely underlying warmth.  The violin has expansive projection, nice balance across the strings, and spectacular ringing, bell-like resonance.  Prepare to improve your technique with the oh-so-comfortable neck and unexpected lightness of the violin.  Time for stepping up to the Pierre Marcel and your future!
