Inspired by old world craftsmanship and the artistry of Italian design, Palatino takes its name from a central hill in Rome where ancient emperors built their palaces. This year, Palatino introduces two new violins inspired by designs from the Italian masters. The Maggini-style violin is Palatino’s first truly professional violin. This marvelous replica that captures the style, the distinguished look and the noble tone of the original. The Anziano violin is based on a classic Ferdinando Garimberti model and features a finish that is meticulously placed for an antique look.

For more than 10 years, Palatino wind instruments have been helping students perform with ease and accuracy, from the classroom to the stage. Palatino winds feature European bell brass, with premium features to make playing smooth and great sounding. Most models come with thermoplastic cases for compact security. All models are U.S. inspected and adjusted.
