Knilling Bolero Intermediate Violin Outfit - 4/4

4/4-size Violin Outfit with Spruce Top, Maple Back and Ribs, Ebony Fittings, Despiau Bridge, Composite Tailpiece, and J. Remy 2012F Bow

A Golden Touch for Mariachi Performers

Where tradition meets opulence, the Knilling Bolero violin shines with ornamental gold fine tuners and matching gold peg pins, providing mariachi performers with spotlight-ready visual flair. This inspiring instrument features solid-wood construction, comprising an aged carved spruce top and carved flame maple back and ribs, finished in an eye-grabbing oil varnish. Perfection Planetary pegs include hidden gears, providing you with mechanical stability and precision, regardless of humidity. Moreover, premium ebony fittings and a Despiau 1-tree bridge add to this violin's overall appeal. A durable composite tailpiece rounds out this highly playable instrument. At Sweetwater, we've found the Bolero amazingly invigorating to play, and its gold-plated E string adds the perfect finishing touch, imbuing it with extra sweetness and warmth. From its radiant gold accents to its rich, resonant voice, the Bolero will captivate eyes and ears in equal measure. The Knilling Bolero Outfit includes a J. Remy 2012F woven carbon fiber bow, 542GR case, and Knilling 190LK rosin.

Knilling: crafting exceptional student violins since 1922

In 1922, Austrian immigrant Bernard Kornblum began importing German violins to the United States after answering a newspaper ad, branding them in honor of celebrated 19th-century luthier Johann Knilling. These meticulously crafted instruments offered remarkable value, providing the cornerstone for his small St. Louis violin shop, which eventually grew into St. Louis Music. During the surge in school music programs that followed World War II, Knilling became one of the leading student orchestral brands, earning the trust of educators through quality craftsmanship, precise adjustments, and innovative initiatives. Now entering its second century, Knilling remains attuned to the evolving needs of modern students and teachers while preserving the brand’s foundational passion for the violin.
