Cremona SV-588 Premier Artist Violin Outfit – 4/4 Size

The Cremona SV-588 is a serious step-up violin built for advancing students who are ready for a better sounding, better playing instrument without jumping into professional-level pricing. It features a solid spruce top with beautifully flamed solid maple back and sides, finished in a rich dark amber hand-applied oil varnish.

Each SV-588 is professionally set up at Cremona’s California workshop with a French-made Aubert bridge, premium steel strings, a select ebony fingerboard, and quality Swiss-style ebony fittings. A lightweight composite tailpiece with four built-in fine tuners keeps tuning simple and reliable.

The complete outfit includes an Anton Breton AB-116F carbon/fiberglass hybrid bow and a heavy-duty Golden Gate CP-3910 oblong thermoplastic case.

Why we like it: The SV-588 hits a really nice middle ground for advancing players. You’re getting solid tonewoods, a legitimate workshop setup, an Aubert bridge, and better-quality fittings—not just cosmetic upgrades. It’s an instrument a student can grow into instead of quickly growing out of.
