Exploring Enrico Orchestral Instruments: Quality, Craftsmanship, and Educational Focus
Enrico Orchestral Instruments have become a trusted name in the world of string instruments, particularly within educational settings. For over 25 years, Enrico has been known among Australian teachers for striking the perfect balance between quality, reliability, and affordability, making it a go-to choice for educators and students alike.
‘The Chance to Succeed’ has always been the Enrico mantra. Learning a stringed instrument isn’t easy and the last thing a student needs is something that looks like a violin but is far from how one should function.
To capture a child’s interest and enthusiasm, to help nurture and develop it promises to enrich their life forever. Enrico’s commitment to quality at an affordable price makes the name the trusted stepping-stone for their musical education by teachers across the country – and thus The Educator’s Choice.
Every violin, viola, cello, and double bass bearing the Enrico name is meticulously crafted using skills and methods that have been in existence for hundreds of years. This commitment to the craft ensures that each instrument not only meets high standards of quality but also provides an exceptional playing experience for students.
That quality and consistency Enrico has become known for is owed to the continual monitoring at every stage of the instruments production. That human touch from beginning to end has made it a market leader year after year.

- Solid spruce tops (violins, violas, cellos and most basses)
