Passion has a voice

Rivaled by the human voice alone, the violin is the most expressive of instruments. It possesses amazing powers of communication. It exudes, articulates, challenges and soothes. Each player can find in this remarkable instrument the means to reveal, to bring forth a most personal force.Its range of expression is phenomenal. Sometimes fiery, exploding with energy, igniting as the bow first touches the strings. Sometimes tender to the point of tears. Other times playful, tickling, giggling, as the bow dances from one string to another.In the hands of a skilled and sensitive player, it is no mere tool. The violin truly gives passion a voice. Over 80 years ago, this voice called to our founder, Bernard Kornblum, and out of his consuming passion for the violin, Knilling String Instruments was born. The voice continues to guide us today in our relationships with the violin makers and their families &endash; relationships which now spans three generations. It expresses itself in every instrument we select, in every adjustment we perform, whether student or master, to give every instrument its amazing powers of communication.So that new voices will continually be added to the old. Giving passion a voice for many generations to come.

Founded in 1922, Knilling proudly stands as the oldest violin company in North Amercia still owned and operated by its founding family.
