OQAN OV500 3/4 - Advanced Studio Acoustic Violin
The OQAN OV500 in 3/4 size is an advanced student violin, meticulously designed for students who have moved beyond the beginner stage and are looking for an instrument with greater sonic capabilities and superior construction. Handcrafted, this violin features a solid spruce top, a tonewood renowned for its excellent resonance and ability to project a clear, bright sound. The sides and back are made of high-quality maple, which complements the spruce, adding warmth, depth, and robust sound projection. This combination of fine woods is essential for students to develop a refined musical ear and explore a wider dynamic range.
Attention to detail is evident in every component of the OV500. The fingerboard, tailpiece, pegboxes, and chinrest are all crafted from ebony, a dense and durable wood that guarantees exceptional resistance to daily wear and tear and the acidity of perspiration. The ebony fingerboard offers a smooth and precise playing surface, facilitating fast and comfortable fingering. Meanwhile, the ebony pegboxes ensure stable and reliable tuning, minimizing interruptions during practice. For even more precise adjustments, the metal tailpiece incorporates four fine tuners, allowing the violinist to make quick and accurate tuning corrections. The maple bridge has been specially treated to optimize the transmission of string vibrations to the body of the instrument, enhancing the overall tonal response.

Frequently Asked Questions
For what age or height is a 3/4 size violin suitable?
A 3/4 size violin is generally recommended for children between 9 and 12 years old, with an approximate arm length of 56-59 cm (measured from the neck to the middle of the palm). It is always advisable to consult with a teacher to confirm the correct size.
What advantage does a "solid fir" top offer?
Unlike laminated tops, a solid spruce top vibrates more freely and evenly. This results in a much richer sound, with greater volume, projection, and a tonal complexity that improves over time as the wood matures.
Why are two arches included?
Including two bows is a great advantage. It allows the student to always have a spare in case the main one needs a change of bristles or is damaged. It also provides the opportunity to experiment with the subtle differences in weight and balance between the two.
Does the violin come ready to play?
The violin comes with all components assembled, but like any new stringed instrument, it will require initial tuning. Although it comes with quality strings, the bridge may not be in its final position to prevent damage during shipping. It is recommended that the initial setup be performed by a teacher or luthier to ensure optimal bridge placement and correct tuning.
