How much is too much for a violin?

It depends on what you want to do with it. Are you a student, a reasonably good amateur, or a professional? If you are a student, you can probably expect to pay around $250-$500 for a starter kit, which includes the violin, bow, and case. A good manufacturer to look for is Glaesel. They produce sturdy instruments of reasonable quality for a beginner. Of course, if the student is young, you may want to rent instead of buy, because they will change violin sizes as they grow.

In terms of a good amateur violin, you will pay around $2000-$4000. This does not include the bow or case. And if you are a professional, the sky is the limit! Stradavariuses can go for millions.
