Thank you to Corilon and to Dr. Roeben for their time, their help and for providing with such a beautiful instrument. I really fell for the sound that was posted online and I can assure you that it's very representative of what the instrument can produce. The fact that the website is so well designed, so well updated and that Corilon replied within less than an hour to all my emails (even a year after my purchase) shows that it's a very serious house.
I can definitely recommend Corilon to advanced conservatoire students or former students (such as myself). PS. I was a little worried about the concept of shipping a violin, but once you see how well packed it is, you know nothing will happen to it.

I have only good things to say about Corilon and had such a wonderful experience with the whole process, which is very personalized. They are insightful and professional in their correspondence and, to me, it is clear that this is a craft, not just a business to them. Shipping was fast and they took great care with packing my violin, which was a complete package that was well-organized.
No complaints whatsoever. It's a beautiful instrument and exceeds all of my expectations, which were high from the beginning after seeing and hearing my 1930 Markneukirchen violin. And the violin selection process covered a few weeks in my case. I felt they were very honest and paid well attention to what I was looking for. I'm very happy to have come across them!
Highly recommended, especially to those looking for a high-quality antique violin at an affordable price. And for those ordering online, it's a wonderful option and opportunity. From a very happy customer!

I am thrilled with the viola I purchased from Corilon! I have had it now for several weeks and have been able to perform using it. I could not be more pleased. It is a beautifully restored viola and has such a warm and mellow tone for the price range - exactly what I was hoping. I appreciate the obvious care and skill your company exercises in restoring and providing these instruments.
I'm so glad I found you online. Dr. Roeben was immediately responsive with any request for information, even weeks after I received my viola. Being a resident of the USA, I was nervous to spend so much money ordering an instrument from Germany sight unseen and without being able to play it first, but the 30 day trial period and the helpfulness of Dr. Roeben online convinced me.
The process was smooth, the shipping was exactly as promised, and I was well-informed all along the way. I'm so glad I took the chance! I am pleased to highly recommend this violin shop. Thank you Corilon violins!

We have just received our antique violin after Steiner last week. It arrived undamaged. The sound is incredible and it is effortless to play. I would like to thank Dr Annette Roeben sincerely for her excellent customer service. She assisted me to choose a violin for my daughter and recommended a bow to match the sound. All done over the internet with the use of her sound recordings of the violin and very prompt emails.
It is perfect. My daughter's violin teacher couldn't believe the sound and how easy it is to play. She wanted to keep playing it! Thank you Annette for your customer service and attention to every detail.

I am delighted with the service very recently provided by Corilon violins. On the basis of my purchase of a lovely violin, I would always be happy to deal with them. Their descriptions of instruments are full and fair, prices are competitive, and the excellent audio clips are of inestimable value when considering the purchase of an instrument online. Overall: trustworthy, professional and very efficient.

After trying out over 30 violins in the UK and extenive internet searching worldwide to chose my lifetime violin, I found Corilon Violins. After flying to Munich and spending a day at the shop and trying out several violins, with the help of the staff I chose the right violin for me. Excellent professional service, with an excellent range of well prepared instruments. I would definitely recommend Corilon if you are looking for a new violin.

Had the best experience with Corilon selecting my new violin - purchased from the US and everything was perfect. Super fast communication and shipping, beautiful violin and I'm enjoying every minute of it. It was a scary experience buying it sight unseen but Annette made me feel incredibly comfortable and I felt confident that I could try another one if I didn't like the first one. A Thank you so much Corilon!
