Do you go by sight or sound?
We obviously go by sound, as you will NOT find any pictures of violins on this site. Many violins that look nice may not be made well, or the fittings (pegs, bridge, fingerboard) are not properly installed. This will drastically affect the sound, and workings of the violin. At Putnam Violins, we assure the fittings are in order and the violin has a pleasing sound. For the player to obtain the most enjoyment, we recommend purchasing the best violin you can afford. Please click on the money-back guarantee link for our policy. We specialize in the sales and repairs of violins, and if you are in the Orange County area of California, we also provide rentals and Suzuki method teaching. We work 7 days a week, by appointment only. So if you are in the area call us for an appointment to come see these quality violins. We have tried to make this both a learning tool and informative site for you, not just a place to buy your violins. So please, feel free to browse our modest site by clicking any of the appropriate links to the left.
