Frequently Asked Questions
Is this violin suitable for a beginner adult?
Yes, size 4/4 is the standard for adults and teenagers from about 11-12 years old (depending on arm length), so it's perfect for an adult beginner.
Does the violin come ready to play or does it need any adjustments?
The violin includes all components, but as is common with new bowed string instruments, the bridge may not be mounted to protect it during shipping. It is recommended that a teacher or luthier perform an initial setup to ensure proper bridge placement and initial tuning.
What maintenance does this instrument require?
Basic maintenance includes cleaning the violin with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove excess rosin, loosening the bow hairs, and always storing it in its case to protect it from changes in temperature and humidity.
What does it mean that the lid is made of "solid fir"?
This means the violin's top is made from a single solid piece of spruce wood, rather than laminated or plywood. This significantly improves the instrument's resonance and sound quality.
