In our violin reviews the Snow SV400 violin is consistently on the Dolce Violins top 5 list for best student violins in its price range. A beautifully applied antique oil varnish highlights a highly flamed maple back and an equally fine European spruce top.

The company’s name, Snow, originates from the workshop owner’s first name XuePing, which translates into Snow. XuePing was trained in China by the great violin making master, Quan Zheng. Quan Zheng studied in Cremona, Italy, thus XuePing’s instruments are of the Italian style.
