2017 Violin and Bow Competition – Tucson Arizona

October 10 – 13, 2017

Do you want to really know how good your violins sound ? Join us, at The VMAAI Violin Competition in Tucson. We sit together and listen to an open competition of our instruments being played by professional players. This lets us hear all the instruments made by all the other makers. It is a unique experience of all the other competitions in the US. Technical workshops are conducted after the daily competitions, and there is plenty of time to talk to other makers about techniques or ideas.

Competition categories:

• Instruments: Cello, Viola,  Violin-steel strings, Violin-synthetic strings
