OQAN OV100 1/2 - Beginner Violin Size 1/2
The OQAN OV100 1/2 is a meticulously handcrafted student violin, designed specifically for students beginning their musical journey. This instrument combines high-quality materials and careful craftsmanship to offer a rich tone and exceptional durability, facilitating the learning process from the very first notes. Its 1/2 size makes it the perfect choice for young violinists, generally between 7 and 8 years old, ensuring a comfortable posture and correct playing technique from the start.
Constructed from select solid woods, the OV100 features a solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides. This classic combination of tonewoods is essential for producing a balanced, clear, and projecting sound. Furthermore, the instrument incorporates high-end details, such as hand-inlaid purfling that not only enhances the violin's beauty but also protects the wood from cracking, ensuring greater longevity. The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth and durable playing surface, withstanding long hours of practice.
To ensure accurate and stable tuning, the violin is equipped with four fine tuners integrated into the tailpiece. This allows the student to make fine adjustments with ease, a crucial aspect of developing a musical ear. It is delivered as a complete, ready-to-play set, including a reinforced case, a bow, and medium-quality rosin. The case, designed for maximum protection, features backpack-style straps for comfortable carrying and a convenient sheet music pocket.
