Excerpt from Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto - Algernon Lee performing at Peter Zaret & Sons Violins

Peter Zaret & Sons Violin shop offers an extensive selection of violins, violas, cellos, basses, and bows ranging from the most affordable student instruments to those valued in the six figures.

Dr. Zaret is known worldwide for his innovative Patented Bass Bar and has been dedicated to improving and enhancing string tone for over twenty years.



Violins labeled E. Martin, were made in Markneukirchen by Wilhelm Ernst Martin and later by his two sons, Ernst Otto Martin, and Max Alfred Martin. He was assisted by his two sons while he worked and they carried on the business after his death. From the William Henley, Universal Dictionary of Violin & Bow Makers:

"Martin, Wilhelm Ernst.

Born 1862. Pupil of E. Glasel. Worked at Markneukirchen. Died 1907. Specialised in making replicas of a Nicolas Lupot model, most of them exported to U.S.A. Also good Cremonese copies. Assisted by two sons-Ernst Otto and Max Alfred"

E. Martin violins were originally imported by C. Bruno & Sons company in NY c. 1862 to 1920. At some point after C. Bruno's death, C. Bruno & Sons was acquired by Kaman music corporation.
