Maker: Jordan Hess
Story: Jordan Hess, a violin maker from Indiana, began his craft at age nine. After apprenticing at Indianapolis Violins, studying at the Violin Making School of America, and working with Salt Lake City based luthier John Young, he now specializes in violins built using traditional Cremonese methods. His designs, based on a proportional system he developed, include geometric replicas of Stradivari, Amati, and Guarneri molds, as well as original models, prioritizing exceptional tonal quality and playability with tonal ranges from warm and colorful to rich and powerful.
Tone and Character: This violin offers an exceptionally balanced and consistent tone, with a warm, round quality that resonates effortlessly. A subtle harmonic sparkle adds depth and articulation to the projection, maintaining its character and clarity up the length of the fingerboard. The midtones are well-balanced, enriching the core of the sound, while the E string brings a focused, chewy quality that enhances its clarity and presence. Delicate overtones add nuance without overpowering the sound, offering elegant versatility and blending.
Overview: The Jordan Hess Violin is beautifully antiqued with a rich, red toned varnish layered over a muted blonde base complemented with boxwood fittings. The one-piece maple back stands out with a unique flaming. This instrument is an excellent example of the “playability” Jordan Hess’s designs are known for, sitting comfortably in the hand and delivering a sensitive response under the bow. With its exceptional balance, consistency and warmth, the individual yet easy-to-blend tone stands out as an ideal choice for the professional ensemble player or anyone looking to add a warmer depth to their voice.
Condition: This instrument is in mint condition.

First Violin Purchase
Purchasing a new violin (or any quality string instrument) is an important investment that can be exciting yet pricey and challenging. In my case, I was a bit nervous because this was my first such purchase. From my several phone calls to today's visit to Violin Shop Tampa, I felt like everyone was dedicated to my needs and happiness. They listened attentively and worked hard to help me in every way. I learned that each team member is formally educated and quite experienced, including a number of professional, working musicians. I was in excellent hands.

Help and Care
We were very pleased with both the help and care taken with selecting a new instrument and the selection of instruments available. Mikel took time with us and made sure everything was just right! Thank you for a wonderful experience. We look forward to coming back when it’s time for the next size up!
First Impressions
We stopped here to see about getting an upgraded violin for my son going into HS orchestra. First impressions are valuable and we were impressed! The shop itself is like a European violin shop - it has that small, warm, well kept old world vibe. It belongs on a small, off the main path cobbled street with a coffee shop next door. It even has its own workshop for working on instruments.
