Gheorge Tirvana Violin Grain
The violin for the advancing student. It has a rich, clear, powerful sound with an excellent, complex texture. Its fine spirit varnish finish, as found on more expensive violins, which results in a better sound allowing a wider range of tonal colors. This superior Bulgarian violin includes flamed maple one-piece back, solid two-piece spruce top, sturdy flamed maple sides, inlaid purfling, ebony pegs, fingerboard and chinrest. This violin is made according to the Guarneri pattern, preferred by many string players. A feature of the Guarneri pattern is that it is slightly smaller than the Stradivari pattern. Available in all sizes. Outfit includes strong pernambuco bow and oblong case with hygrometer.

Listen to these Gheorge Tirvana student violins! The composition is Bouree by Handel -#6 in Suzuki Book, Volume 11, performed by Peter Zaret. (Click on the links* to listen.)
