OQAN OV500 4/4 - Advanced Acoustic Violin with Solid Spruce Top
The OQAN OV500 in 4/4 size is an advanced-level violin, meticulously designed for conservatory students and intermediate players seeking an instrument with superior tonal quality and exceptional construction. Handcrafted, this violin combines select tonewoods to produce a rich, resonant sound with excellent projection, capable of excelling in both studios and small concert halls.
