Used violins often produce a more mellow tone than the modern violin. Some of this is due to the ageing of the tonewoods and some are due to the modern trend of making louder instruments. Older violins are often made of better quality wood than modern violins. The modern violins are mainly built on low-quality woods and do not produce nice tones. It would be always good to buy an older violin which is made of Maple wood and especially hand-made violins.

Old violins are always costly due to the tone and quality of the Violin. It would be great if you can afford a good quality violin for your learning.
