Musical Instruments belongs under the AXL Music Instruments Group. It is an American manufacturer of pianos, stringed and wind instruments and their accessories. It is a relatively new company, founded in 1994.

The company started with the production of bowed string instruments such as violin, viola, cello or contrabass. Their production process employs traditional Italian instrument-making procedures as well as modern technologies. The quality of the instruments can be demonstrated by the fact that its Palatino violin became the best-selling violin in the student category just a few years after the foundation of the company.

In the middle of the first decade of the new millenium, Palatino also introduced a line of wind instruments, which includes trumpets, clarinets, flutes and saxophones. Even these instruments have become very popular for their excellent sound and production quality. The company has currently expanded its portfolio by the production of good-quality pianos.

Palatino belongs among the most successful manufacturers on the worldwide market. It has earned its place especially because of the excellent sound of their instruments and more than favorable quality to price ratio.
