mezzo-forte Streichinstrumente Reviews 

All questions were answered in prompt manner.

excellent services and contact prime product

Product was no like other. The best of the best. I love this company, and I love my violin.

Went through the website for ordering.
Easy to use. Fast delivery.
Appreciate the quality of your bows!
Good value.
Thank you.

Great product and fantastic customer service. Lovely sounding instrument a clear improvement on the wooden instruments it replaced.

Clear communication, quick turnaround, and (while I haven’t properly tested the instrument yet) it appears excellent craftsmanship.

I have always wanted second cello that could offer me being a bit "out of the box." The Evoline hybrid cello has exceeded my expectations. It sounds quite good, it's easy to play and tune and the fact that I can electrify it opens up a whole new world!
The delivery was on time and the cello was ready to play in about 2 minutes. I'm very happy!

​I bought a cello from Mezzo Forte and it was the absolute worst investment I’ve ever made.

Fast to answer questions and fast delivery

Overall an excellent service

Great communication, easy to purchase from, and very quick shipping!

I love this violin. Very easy to play. My wooden violin is extremely good and sounds better, but this carbon fibre violin is a fine instrument and absolutely worth the money. It’s comfortable, super easy to tune and absolutely beautiful. Mezzo-Forte gave me my preferred fast responding Helicore strings and reduced the bridge height for me for no charge, which was really kind. With this set up the sound is loud, focused and warm enough. I’ve been playing it for 10 days and the sound is improving each day. I love the fact that i can safely travel with this violin and play it outside in all weathers.
Like my wooden violin it sounds significantly better without a shoulder rest. Some sort of floating shoulder rest system that does not clip to the body would be good.
Anyway, I’m delighted that i bought this violin. It’s a fantastic product.

Rapid, professional communication from this company. And the product is outstanding.

My Cello came ready to play (after tuning of course). It was in excellent condition and has been very fun to play. I find it easier to play than my wooden Cello. Getting used to the under ear sound takes time but that is to be expected with carbon fiber instruments.

I brought a EvoLine Hybrid. The ANS pickup system has worked well so far, producing a clear, uninterrupted sound.

Mezzo-Forte sent me an email to confirm that my package had been sent, which I appreciated. The overall wait time for me was about 4 weeks. Once the cello had been set up, the delivery came in about 2 days. I live in UK for context.

The packaging itself was clearly labelled. They were kind enough to tell me which side of the box should be opened and the word "fragile" for the delivery company was clear to see.

Very happy with the product and my purchase!

I was able to order a fantastic bow from mezzo-forte from Germany to Minnesota, USA in 3 days. The service is excellent, and the refurbished Arcus bow behaves as if it's brand new.

Excellent instrument....warm balanced and full sound.

Beautiful craftsmanship and superb customer service. Highly recommend

The response of customer service is very impolite and not up to expected standard absolutely.

I am interested in Arcus Cadenza violin bow. I had read a lot of related information and even communicated with Arcus for detail.

Mezzo Forte ("MF") name this bow as "Former Flagship model". It is in line with my understanding as Arcus stopped the production of this model in 2007, probably. However MF describes it as "New" one. Frankly speaking the product description (former flagship model but New one) make me confuse. It is a very high end bow which cost around Euro3,000. So it is reasonable for me to clean up all my concerns before placing order. Unfortunately, the customer service's replies are very very impolite.

I finally contact a dealer in other country. They addressed all my concerns patiently. I brought a Arcus violin bow (even more expensive than Cadenza) from that dealer.

The purpose of posting this experience is not hoping for any reply. I guess the management of MF might not know what's the performance of their customer services. This posting is to draw the attention of the management how bad their customer services is.

NB: I am willing to post all our detail communication if needed.

[7 May 2026] Why not post the full email content (especially Joerg's email) instead of picking a few sentence.

I had pretty serious problems with the delivery of my order, and Mezzo-Forte did a lot to make everything work out. This is my second great order from them, and I will be sure to keep them in mind for future needs.

The violin seems good, with a great sound on the low strings!

THANK YOU! Your customer service was amazing and got my wood finished carbon fiber Hybrid cello to the USA in plenty of time before my international trip with it next week. I played on it today and am so impressed for the price at how excellent the cello sounds. So many wood cellos for 5-6K sound like garbage. This instrument is beautiful and I love that it is durable. I'm headed to Asia next week, and will be playing Beethoven 9, Mozart 40, and many other pieces. Can't wait to use it!

I bought the 5 string hybrid cello. I play in a metal band and had specific needs for the setup, which they were happy to accommodate.

I sounds incredible when running it through an impulse response, and the setup is very professional. It plays like a much more expensive cello.
