In the past, every European instrument was painstakingly crafted by hand. But today, there have been many changes in the way string instruments are manufactured in Europe. In order to sell at lower price points, many European factories have resorted to automation to keep costs down. So the "Made in Europe" sticker doesn't automatically mean a superior instrument. In fact, it could mean that many steps of the process were performed by machines, rather thant people. And robotics take no persoanl interest in whether the instrument is easy to play, or has a clear, rich tone.

Prodigy instruments are hand crafted in each step of the process. That means our master craftsmen can control quality at every stage, by look, feel, even smell, and of course sound. Every part and piece must meet our high standards. These master craftsmen travel to Europe to learn the ancient traditions of violin making . They use the same techniques as the old European masters , but in an environment that does not require cutting costs.
