The Holstein Workshop by Ming Jiang Zhu Violin is custom made specifically for us by the Ming-Jiang Zhu workshop (Nobel Heart Workshop). It's developed from the Model 909 (Model AAA), but has a higher quality varnish that you normally only see on Ming Jiang Zhu's bench instruments ($10k+). We like to call this violin a MJZ 909 on steroids. The improved varnish brings this violin to a whole new level! Just like a regular Ming-Jiang Zhu 909, this violin is made by Senior Master Luthiers at the Ming Jiang Zhu workshop and comes with an authentic certificate. The setup of this violin is further done by our Master Luthier in our Florida workshop. Boxwood fittings with Guarneri model chinrest Professional Despiau or Aubert bridge. Most commonly, this violin is set up with Thomastik Peter Infeld strings, but it might vary depending on the characteristics of each individual instrument.
