Perfect for the beginning violinist, the V5SC/V5SA features a spruce top and maple back and neck made from high quality materials. Each instrument is handcrafted utilizing the same traditional methods as used on high-end violins. Designed, sized, and priced for young students, they are quality instruments that will get any student off to a great start. The V5SA features ebony tailpiece, chinrest, and endpin. It comes with a case, bow, and rosin and is available in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 4/4 sizes. Our scale-size violins are crafted and finished by hand to provide young musicians with a quality without compromise instrument to start out on. These violins use original designs that deliver excellent cost performance and outstanding reliability, which along with their superior quality offers parents peace of mind. Because the finish has a great effect on the instrument's tone, we took the extra time and effort, testing various formulas and checking the results with acoustic measurements to develop an original oil finish that brings out the best tone. Applied by hand to maximize its affect, the finish enhances the instrument's response and articulation while adding a beautiful glossy appearance. Sets include everything the beginner needs. Cases are made of lightweight materials and include a strap to make carrying easy. Finish: Natural. Size: 1/4
