Here's a pretty violin by Armando Altavilla made in 1914.it's a 7/8 size, coming in at 351mm. SO manageable sizewise, but with a rich full sound. You'll find it heading our list on the violins page. This is the website of McHugh Violins., of Wichita, Kansas, U.S.A.

Played violin for 9 years and finally got my own instrument (not from this shop) online locally. My g string was almost close to snapping so I brought my instrument in to be looked at because it seemed like a good shop with amazing reviews and he instantly looks at it and replaces the string free of charge. I had no idea what it was going to even cost but I was amazed at how quick and helpful he was. Will be making this my go to shop for anything I need with my violin from here on out!

Very nice gentleman who owns and runs the store. Works with you and doesn't hit you over the head on price.

I have met many knowledgeable and skilled luthiers in the past. But to find one who is not only knowledgeable, skilled and professional, but also kind, humble, and compassionate, is a real find! We are so blessed to have found him a few years ago. We drive three hours for service and repairs.

McHugh Violins is THE place to go for all your orchestra related needs, be it repairs, buying a new instrument, or even upgrading existing instruments with better parts! Simon makes the whole process of buying and reparing instruments amazingly easy, and the atmosphere of his shop is rivaled by none! I bought a viola from Simon two years ago, and besides one minor adjustment, it's been the best viola I've ever had the honor of owning and playing. So, please, check out McHugh Violins for amazing experience.

The only place any stringed instrument musician should go. Don't buy online check with Simon first. He has all sizes and price ranges in the best quality. He supports local artist and gives where he can.

Simon is one of the nicest, most friendly people to work with. He was patient and genuinely interested in helping me find the right violin setup over the course of a couple months (had to save up a little bit and wasn't sure what a violin would cost). Simon is a knowledgeable and skilled luthier, and his customer service is some of the best I've ever experienced. This is probably the most deserving 5-star review I've ever given.
