Violin by Samuel Payton – Philadelphia (2017, 7/8)
This 7/8 violin, made in 2017 by Samuel Payton in Philadelphia, reflects a careful, hands-on approach to modern American violin making. Built from thoughtfully selected spruce and maple, the instrument shows clean craftsmanship, refined arching, and a warm, tastefully applied varnish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood.
The 7/8 size offers a comfortable alternative to a full-size instrument, ideal for players seeking slightly smaller proportions without sacrificing tonal depth or projection.
Tonally, the violin offers a clear, balanced voice with warmth at its core and an easy, responsive feel under the bow. Even across the registers and quick to speak, it provides both refinement and power in a more compact form—well suited to advancing students and adult players who appreciate a thoughtfully made contemporary American instrument.
