There have been hundreds if not thousands of violin makers, each at different levels. Some violins are made right off of a machine, where the body, pegs, and chin rest are occasionally made partially or completely of plastic. These violins cost very little because they resonate a muted or 'tinney' sound. On the other end of the spectrum, there are some hand made violins that sell for millions of dollars. One of the most incredible violin makers of all time was Antonio Stradivari, whose few surviving 200+ year old instruments are those easily worth many millions of dollars because he knew how to make his instruments have the most vibrant and perfect tone. Makers of every level in between continue to make and sell their instruments all over the world.
