A New Standard for Baroque Musicians
The Resonáre Series was built for those who take early music seriously. Whether you are stepping onto the professional stage or deepening a lifelong devotion to the Baroque repertoire, this is the instrument your ambition has been waiting for.
The Resonáre Series represents a singular achievement in contemporary baroque instrument making — born from the collaboration between master luthier Sarah W. Peck and Vermont Violins.
Sarah brings over a decade of dedicated study in Baroque performance practice and historically informed construction. Vermont Violins contributes high-precision manufacturing expertise, rigorous acoustic component sourcing, and an uncompromising commitment to sustainable materials. Together, the result is an instrument that is neither a reproduction nor a compromise — it is a baroque violin built for the way serious musicians work today.
Every Resonáre violin is crafted using traditional joinery and period-authentic tonewoods, refined through modern quality standards that ensure consistency, longevity, and exceptional voice. For musicians who demand historical integrity without sacrificing playability, this is the instrument.

Sarah W. Peck is one of America's most distinguished makers of historically informed baroque instruments. With over fifteen years of experience in violin making and restoration, and more than a decade devoted exclusively to the study of Baroque music and early performance practice, she brings an authenticity to her craft that is immediately tangible — in the sound, the feel, and the soul of every instrument she creates.
Based in Philadelphia, Sarah's instruments are built from the finest tonewoods — American Maple backs and ribs, quarter-sawn European spruce tops — and constructed using the same joinery and finishing techniques employed by the great Baroque makers. The result is an instrument that is not merely styled after the period but genuinely rooted in it.
