ABOUT SUZUKI VIOLINS

In the event you are not familiar with Suzuki Violin Co.'s model line-up, their model numbers are very easy to understand:

- the 200 series (such as 200, 220, 280, etc.) are high quality and quite popular beginner models;
- the 300 series (300, 310, 330, etc.) are "intermediate" violins for progressing students;
- the 500 series (500, 520, 540, 550) are "advanced" violins;
- the Eternal series (1100 and 1200) are targeted at professional musicians - "orchestra" grade models;
- the Heritage series (1400s and 1500s) are targeted at professional musicians - "soloist" grade models.

Within each series, models with the higher number tend to have greater value.

While Suzuki violins are relatively rare in the U.S., they dominate the domestic market in Japan and are highly regarded. In Japan, a brand new Suzuki 280 violin has typically been priced in stores at levels slightly below Yamaha's AV5 model.
