Here are the absolute best free violin plugins available right now. Best for: Classical, Cinematic, Emotional Scoring

Whether you need a realistic classical soloist, a punchy ensemble for pop scores, or a gritty, lo-fi texture for experimental beats, there is a free violin VST for you.

When you think of a violin, you might imagine a virtuoso soloist playing a haunting melody. But for a producer or composer working on a budget, the price tag of premium libraries (like Spitfire Solo Strings or Cinematic Studio Strings) can be daunting. Fortunately, the world of free sampling has exploded in quality.
