Maker: John Juzek
Story: John Juzek (1892–1965) was a Czech-born violin maker and merchant who became widely known for exporting fine instruments from Prague and the surrounding Bohemian region to North America in the early 20th century. While Juzek himself crafted a number of instruments, his greatest impact came through organizing high-quality production with skilled luthiers in Schönbach and beyond. Sold under his anglicized name, the instruments gained a strong reputation for their tonal quality, durability, and refined craftsmanship. His Master Art series and student models have long served musicians across all levels, offering reliable instruments modeled after classic Italian designs. Today, his legacy continues through Metropolitan Music Co., which maintains the Juzek brand and commitment to traditional European workmanship.
Tone and Character: The John Juzek Model 105 violin offers a warm, intimate tone with a well-rounded character that responds easily under the bow. Designed for the advancing student, it provides a balanced tonal palette—capable of shifting from mellow richness to a brighter, more focused sound when needed. The lower strings speak clearly with warmth and color, while the upper register brings out a singing clarity that allows for expressive phrasing and projection. Its versatility and dynamic range make it an excellent choice for students seeking a more nuanced voice as they progress in both solo and ensemble settings.
Overview: The John Juzek Model 105 violin features fine craftsmanship with tasteful antiquing that accentuates its golden brown varnish. Built with quality tonewoods and modeled after traditional European templates, the instrument blends visual elegance with tonal functionality. Its arching, purfling, and fittings reflect careful attention to detail, making it not only a reliable student violin but one that offers refinement in both sound and appearance. This violin presents an ideal step-up for intermediate players looking for a responsive and expressive instrument.
