An excellent violin for students and part-time musicians. It features a rich, clear sound with an easy playability. This fine Bulgarian violin features a flamed maple two-piece back, solid two-piece spruce top, maple sides, inlaid purfling, ebony pegs, fingerboard and chinrest. This violin is made according to the Guarneri pattern, preferred by many string players, for a number of reasons one of which is that it is slightly smaller than the Stradivari pattern. Outfit includes pernambuco bow and oblong case. Available in all sizes.
