In 2016, Mairead Nesbitt announced she would be launching her own violin line.

Here's the post that started it all:

The line was unveiled in February, 2017!

The violins Mairead chose for her line reflect the warm, sweet tone she prefers.

Here's some videos of Mairead explaining the violin models and also the bows she's using with each model.
