History
New England Violins was founded in 1993 by violist and conductor Paul Dulude. Since that time, Paul has run the business out of his residence: originally a Cambridge apartment and most recently in nearby Belmont. While searching for his own instrument and a busy musician himself, Paul recognized the need for a resource where players of all levels could go about selecting a suitable instrument. This process entails many criteria--some subtle, some not so much--but first and foremost the choice should be predicated on matching the instrument to the musician's need, whether student, amateur or pro- fessional; ensemble player or soloist. There are the issues of playing style and of the 'playability' of the instrument to consider, especially within the context of a lifelong commitment to practice: the development of superior musicianship. continued on www.newenglandviolins.com
