On June 13, 2026, Franz Sandner, in collaboration with the Puli Arts and Cultural Center, hosted the Puli Music and Arts Festival. Over one hundred students from six schools – including Puli Junior High School, Taichung First Senior High School, Xiao Ming Girls' High School, Zhongxiao Elementary School, Tonglin Elementary School, and Xincheng Elementary School – came together to connect their communities through music.

The event featured a master class led by violinist Ming-Yen Chien, who provided one-on-one instruction to three students. His meticulous teaching approach and professional demonstrations left a lasting impression on the participants, many of whom expressed a strong desire to continue their musical studies.

A complimentary violin check-up station was set up at the event, where Mr. Yu Ronghua provided instrument inspections and adjustment recommendations to 15 to 20 students, helping them gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their own instruments.

Franz Sandner also offered a range of brand experience activities, allowing students to try out the instruments and share their experiences through check-in posts, all while learning more about this century-old German violin brand. A selection of Franz Sandner violins – from student-level models such as the RV-5 and SV-4, to the CV-6 and G1 series – was on display, giving parents and students the opportunity to experience the quality and character of instruments at different levels.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Education Department of the Nantou County Government, the Puli Township Office, the Puli Township Library, and Councilor Chen Yijun for their strong support, as well as to all participating schools and teachers for their invaluable assistance. Franz Sandner remains committed to music education, and we look forward to supporting more young musicians in shining through their art.

Live Performance

On July 6, students from the Puli Music and Arts Festival visited the Franz Sandner Hsinchu Showroom to continue their lessons with Ming-Yen Chien. Franz Sandner will continue to promote music and violin education throughout Taiwan, and we look forward to bringing our instruments to even more music lovers.
