Meisel violins have been around since 1659, predating Paganini and even Beethoven. The Meisel name is still synonymous with solid workmanship and quality instruments at a reasonable price. Students or professionals can find the right violin for them in Meisel's product line.
All Meisel stringed instruments exceed the specifications set out by the National Association for Music Education (MENC). The instruments are finished by hand at the Meisel violin shop. Quality of craftsmanship is always a top concern for Meisel, so fingerboards are carefully shaped and aligned and bridges are individually cut. All pegs are tested to hold tension and turn smoothly and easily.
Meisel basses, cellos, violas, and violins are all constructed with full ebony trimmings, full corner blocks, full neck and endpin blocks, full inside lining and inlaid purflings. Only the best woods and hand-rubbed varnishes are used on Meisel violins and other stringed instruments. Meisel cellos are built with only the best maple and spruce, with solid ebony fingerboards and fittings. Top quality strings and bridges round out the package. Student cellos are available with a crack-proof body that is fully-laminated.
Meisel violins have always featured a distinctive feel when playing and emit rich, warm-sounding tones. All Meisel violins are given a nice stylistic touch with their solid carved tops and backs and ebony fingerboards and hardware. Every instrument is adjusted to meet our strict specifications, which exceed those established by MENC. Student violins can be purchased in sizes all the way down to 1/32, with the normal instruments offered in 1/2 to 4/4 sizes. Smaller-sized instruments can also be purchase as a custom order.
On top of its line of quality stringed instruments, Meisel also has an assortment of musical accessories and strings to choose from. The Meisel stands are well-known for their workmanship and ease of setup. Another great Meisel innovation is the Bowzo, a temporary teaching aid that keeps the bow in the correct position. The Bowzo only permits contact with the strings when the bow is held at a 90 degree angle. It is basically an open-sided tube with a slot that is just slightly wider than the bow, allowing the Bowzo to slip over the bridge and fingerboard as a guide for the bow. It can be quickly and easily installed or taken off. Made of durable polypropylene, the Bowzo is sturdy enough to provide a solid grip on the instrument without damaging it.
Keeping the bow in the proper position is one of the areas where many musicians struggle, whether they are beginners or experienced violinists. The Meisel Bowzo is a great training aid for keeping the bow in a straight path at all times and avoiding those unpleasant screeches and squeaks that come from incorrect bowing. It is often difficult for music teachers to demonstrate the proper technique as it is something that the student must feel to really understand. Using the Bowzo lets you worry about the notes you are playing on your Meisel violin, not the technical details of how to how your bow.
