Handcrafted Violins

Mark selects the finest possible materials, and concentrates on every detail. The workmanship is superb, the finish exquiste, and the voicing unsurpassed.
		The Violin Family is Mark's specialty. Using an "Old World" Master's touch Mark has established himself as one of the finest contemporary makers. A Bluett violin achieves almost the impossible by combining the boldness of the Guarneri and the sweetness of the Strad. After it is created from the finest air dried woods, the Bluett violin is individually set up to produce a world class instrument.
