Testimonial

I’ve been playing a Jonathan Cooper Signature Model violin for six years now, and it continues to amaze me every time I pick it up. It’s perfect for both acoustic and amplified performances as well as studio recordings. The violin has great balance: a powerful, warm low end along with clarity and brightness, a combination that is rarely found. I highly recommend Jonathan Cooper’s instruments to anyone and everyone.

My Cooper violin has turned out to be simply an extension of my own musical self. It plays responsively and easily and peaks with personality and clarity, all on top of being a real eye catcher. Jonathan Cooper cares about client satisfaction and did everything to make my instrument work for me. If you’re looking for a new instrument, do yourself a very big favor and check out his work.
