Walt Senkow Violins

Walt Senkow (1914-1999) began making violins in New York and later pursued his craft in Detroit; finally moving to Dallas in the early 1950s. For more than 60 years he studied and pursued the best wood curing, workmanship, and varnish to achieve a rich sound. Mr. Senkow's trademark comprises an ebony insert around the endpin and another in the scroll. He named some of his violins after his wife and children. We have the Senkow instruments shown below for sale in our shop. Contact us for more information.

Additional information about Walt Senkow and more of his violins for sale can be seen at his son Danny's website, here.
