“I’ve heard and played many of the great old Italian violins, and so far my Widenhouse is the equal to any of them.  It has power, color and depth, and I find it elevates my level of playing. I would recommend one of Kurt’s instruments to anyone who is serious about acquiring a great violin.”

“When I bought my Widenhouse in 1995, I was overjoyed that I had finally found an instrument that I loved.

It’s only gotten better and continues to grow richer. 

With my Widenhouse, I can always rely on the fact that the open, rich, homogenous sound will be there.”
