Nicolo Galini Series
Experience the richness of a premium violin without the premium price. Our Nicolo Galini series is crafted for players who want beautiful tone, dependable quality, and an instrument that supports real growth. Each violin is hand‑made from seasoned tonewoods and finished with the care you’d expect from far more expensive instruments. Choose from the Allegro, Cadenza, or Maestro models to match your player’s advancing skill and musical goals.
Artisan Series
Our Artisan violins are an excellent value for beginning and intermediate players. They offer reliable craftsmanship, a responsive tone, and the consistency students need as they develop their skills. Thoughtfully priced and built for long‑term use, the Artisan series is available in full and fractional sizes — from 3/4 down to 1/32 — so every young musician can start with an instrument that supports real progress.

About us
Il Violino Cremona Hawai‘i was born from a lifelong dream and a deep belief that Hawai‘i deserves access to truly exceptional instruments. Founder Michael Wong grew up on O‘ahu, experiencing firsthand how difficult it was for local musicians to find high‑quality, well‑set‑up violins that could survive our climate. After years of playing, studying, and even handling legendary instruments by Stradivari and Guarneri, he made a promise to bring world‑class craftsmanship home.
Today, that promise has grown into Hawai‘i’s largest quality violin shop — a place where students, families, and professionals can find instruments they trust, guidance they can rely on, and care that lasts a lifetime.
Our luthier handmade instruments come with certificate of authenticity and won several awards / merits from:
Violin Society of America
Italy’s National Association of Italian Artistic Violin Making (A.N.L.A.I)
Cremona Triennale Competition
Malta International Violin Making Competition
Violin Maker’s Association of British Columbia
Stradivarius International Violin Competition
Mittenwald International Violin Competition
And More…
