Burgundy red in colour, it has safety reflectors in the piping. There is a music pocket and accessory pockets. We also give a block of rosin and a case blanket!

What is "Select" ?

These violins have been picked by our senior technician as being the best examples of this range. As with all hand-carved instruments, some are marginally better than others. The tone-woods used differ, naturally, and some possess a slightly superior sound. These become the "Select" instruments!

We supply a Free Care and Maintenance leaflet for those not familiar with stringed instruments. This covers the use of the bow, tuning, changing strings etc.

The workshop set up

In our workshop, we check and set-up EVERY violin we sell, regardless of the model, or the discount applied to the price! Our workshop process ensures that your violin will be in good playing condition upon receipt. Beware of student instruments offered without this service, as instruments straight from the factory are NOT set-up, and the process requires technical knowledge, experience and the right equipment.
