A
t Saga, quality is designed in. From
the beginning our overriding concern
has been to provide the finest quality
instruments, parts and accessories at
affordable prices. You won’t pay a premium
for our brand names.
Quality control is the cornerstone of our
entire operation. Careful attention is
applied to every detail, from design
criteria to selection and supervision of
manufacturers to final inspection and
setup in our West Coast facility. Detailed
specifications and repeated inspections
assure that every product we sell meets our
high standards for quality, durability and
performance.
New products are developed continuously
to meet the evolving needs of musicians.
Each product has the look, sound, feel and
playing characteristics demanded by the
most critical professional musicians. Our
tradition-inspired proprietary products
recreate, adapt or improve on historic
designs to meet contemporary playing
requirements — all without sacrificing
characteristics that appeal to the purist.
Our roots are in traditional American
fretted instruments but our commitment
to affordable quality extends to every
product we sell. If you bought it from Saga,
you bought the best product at the best
possible price.

Cremona Maestro “Special Edition” Violin
Modern recreations of rare masterpieces!
Fine instruments in every respect, all Special Edition Maestro
violins feature the very best and rarest woods, and are superbly
handcrafted by extraordinarily skilled luthiers whose goal is to
produce a “perfect” instrument every time.
At the top of Cremona’s Maestro Series is a re-creation of the
legendary “Hellier” Strad. The “Hellier” is the most famous of
Antonio Stradivari’s inlaid violins. Originally purchased by Sir
Samuel Hellier in the early 18th century directly from the
Master, the instrument eventually passed to Mr. H.E. Morriss, a
Shanghai newspaper publisher. Fortunately, Mr. Morriss took
the Hellier with him to England before World War II; after World
War II, Morriss saw all of his Shanghai possessions confiscated
by the revolutionary functionaries of Mao Zedong and put on
display as “plunder”. The original “Hellier” is presently in the
Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
Limited availability: The supply of these extremely rare, very
old woods and inlay materials is extremely limited and
irreplaceable.

The Beginning:
When we set out, more than 25 years ago, to meet students’, parents’
and teachers’ needs for affordable, high quality, violin family instruments, our ultimate goal was to increase the number of people
who make music on bowed instruments.
We know how important the quality and accessibility of a first
instrument are in determining who gets a chance to play, who
succeeds and who quits in frustration. This has resulted in our
continuous efforts to eliminate the 2 biggest deterrents to a
beginner’s success: high cost of getting started and poorly made
instruments and bows that lead to frustration and “failure.” In the
process, Cremona became a market leader among the world’s
most popular and respected violin lines.
Upgrade Objectives: VN/VA
• Focus attention where it matters most: done.
• Maintain existing affordable prices: done.
• Push the quality envelope: done.
• Comparable item numbers mean comparable specs: done.
Focus attention where it matters most: finish, bow and case.
We developed innovations in design, materials and manufacturing
methods that resulted in the finest combination of features available at each price point without raising prices.
• Finish
Complicated, thinly applied, translucent, warm brown finish adds
beauty while allowing an unimpeded view of the excellent quality
of both materials and craftsmanship. The top’s tight-grained
spruce, the select maple of the back, sides and neck, the beauty
of the finish itself, and the high quality handwork in every detail
are there for all to see.
• Bows: J.LaSalle LB-15 Series Octagonal Bows
Bows with octagonal sticks are generally easier to play because
they are stiffer, with better control and response, than equivalent
bows with round sticks. They’re rarely available to students. We
changed that. The J.LaSalle LB-15 Series Bows feature high quality
octagonal Brazilwood stick, ebony frog, quality fittings and genuine unbleached white horsehair. Balance, response and overall
playability are excellent.
• Cases: VN [

/4-1/4]; VA [16"-12"]
Our exclusive, state of the art, Travelite®TL-35 violin cases are
best-sellers. Our customized version, the Travelite®TL-33, is available exclusively on Cremona Student Violin & Viola Outfits. This

The Cremona Premier: Student Viola Series offers a professional
quality viola for any player including students as young as 8
years old. The easy playability and resonant tone of our violas
will inspire the student to greater heights of achievement. No
teacher or student would argue that introducing the viola early
enough to the right student is crucial to the development of the
proper playing technique, and to fully understand the instruments place in the modern orchestral setting.
The Cremona Premier Series SVA-175 and SVA-150 violas both
feature select solid spruce tops and solid maple backs — both
meticulously hand-carved and graduated, befitting a professional quality instrument. The lovely translucent brown finish
highlights the beautiful woods and finely inlaid purfling. The
finest ebony trimmings are used in addition to a light-alloy
tail-piece which has four fine tuners built in. In contrast, SV-150
is similar in features to the SVA-175 but has genuine boxwood
fittings including the boxwood tailpiece with four fine tuners
installed separately. Both models also feature a solid ebony
fingerboard and our VP-202 Cremona 2-star bridge.

Cremona’s Novice violin and viola outfits will assure that each
student has the correct instrument at each stage of the learning
process. The student’s ultimate success can only be achieved
with an instrument equal to the level of the player. All Cremona

The beautiful warm brown finish will inspire pride in the student
and the full tone and easy response will reward and encourage
the student’s best efforts. These fine instruments are built to
last as the careful workmanship and quality materials will attest.
The dyed rosewood fingerboard and fittings are exclusive features at this price point and are far superior to the dyed maple

students give their full attention to the music.
Students can realize their fullest potential on perfectly
designed instruments such as our Cremona Premier Novice

Cremona’s Novice Violin Collection minimizes the single
biggest deterrent for many aspiring musicians: the cost of getting
started. While many suppliers cut the price of their entry-level
instruments by using laminated or pressed woods, all of
Cremona’s Novice Collection instruments feature handcarved
solid maple and spruce construction. Maximum tone production and a pleasing tone quality are achieved with properly
hand-graduated inner and outer contours of the top and back,
hand-fitted bass bars and sound posts, and clean interior workmanship. Each instrument is carefully crafted to be visually as
well as aurally pleasing.
