The Dahlia® 5-String

Our ever popular Dahlia5®...

Featuring a highly figured one-piece back and close-grain spruce top made from the finest woods - air dried a minimum of 5 years - our Dahlia5® is antiqued for the look of an old-world Cremona classic, with hand applied oil varnish of the highest quality.

The nut width measures 26mm to provide the standard string-to-string spacing of a 4 string violin, with a slim neck for a comfortable feel.

Full and powerful...

The tone of the Dahlia5® offers a powerful high register while maintaining a big, full C string tone. The string-to-string balance is obscenely even. Our Dahlia® 5-string is designed for the highly trained player who can focus and control the power of this model in our line of world-class 5 string violins.

Add Gary's lightweight internal pickup system and your Dahlia5® has all the versatility for your amplified needs as well.

The word from the late Byron Berline...

I just received the Dahlia 5 string and I am really impressed. I like the looks, sound, playability and I know I will play it this weekend with our Western Swing show featuring Leon Rausch.
