Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if size 1/8 is right for my child?
The 1/8 size is generally suitable for children aged 3 to 5. A practical way to measure this is to ask the child to fully extend their left arm to the side. Measure the distance from their neck to the middle of their palm. For a 1/8 size violin, this measurement should be approximately 42 cm. If in doubt, it is always advisable to consult with a music teacher.
Does the violin come ready to play?
Yes, the OQAN OV100 includes everything you need to get started: the violin, bow, rosin, and case. Although it comes pre-set up, the bridge may not be attached to prevent damage during shipping. Attaching it is simple, but it is recommended that a teacher or luthier perform the initial setup and tuning to ensure optimal performance.
What maintenance does this violin require?
Basic maintenance includes cleaning the violin with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove rosin residue, loosening the bow hairs before storing it, and always storing it in its case to protect it from temperature and humidity changes.
Why are fine tuners important?
Fine tuners, also called string tuners, allow for very small and precise adjustments to the tuning of each string. This is especially useful for students, as it greatly simplifies the tuning process, which can be complicated using only the tuning pegs.
