mezzo-forte DesignLine Violin – The Award-Winning Icon.
Winner of the German Musical Instrument Award. Our Bestseller.
The DesignLine is the heart of mezzo-forte. It represents the perfect symbiosis of high-tech manufacturing and traditional luthier craftsmanship. Designed for musicians who refuse to compromise between fascinating aesthetics and nuanced sound.
The Visual Experience: 3D Depth
Unlike the purist EvoLine, the DesignLine is crafted using a complex vacuum infusion process and finished entirely by hand. The surface is sanded, lacquered, and polished to a high gloss multiple times.
The Result: The famous shimmering carbon pattern emerges. Depending on the light, the instrument reveals a fascinating three-dimensional depth. A stunner on any stage.
The Sound: Brilliant and Nuanced
The DesignLine offers the "extra" richness in tonal colors that advanced musicians seek.
- Response: Featherlight and direct. You receive immediate feedback on every nuance of your bowing.
- Character: The tone is radiant, projecting, and rich in overtones. Especially in the high positions of the E-string, the DesignLine sings with a brilliance that inspires.
- Dynamics: From whispering pianissimo to assertive fortissimo – this instrument follows your musical ideas effortlessly.
Master Specs & Details
Quality in every component. Every DesignLine is set up in our German workshop:
- Strings: Pirastro Evah Pirazzi – for soloistic power and complex colors.
- Pegs: Original Wittner fine-tuning pegs. Tune without effort, absolutely stable in any climate.
- Ergonomics: Specially designed grooves in the lower bouts ensure that any standard shoulder rest fits securely and does not slip.
- Fingerboard: CITES-free composite material. Impervious to temperature changes, feels like ebony, but is more durable.
Customization (Optional)
The DesignLine gives you the freedom to choose:
- 5-String: Expand your range with a low C-string (Viola range).
- Orchestra Line: Want the benefits of carbon in a classic look? Choose our deceptively real wood-imitation finish.
- Bridge Upgrade: Optionally select the Milo Stamm Royal bridge for the ultimate sound optimization.
Warranty: We stand behind our quality and offer a 5-year unrestricted manufacturer's warranty on the body.
