OQAN OV150 1/2 - Study Violin for Beginners
The OQAN OV150 in 1/2 size is a student violin meticulously designed to offer young students an exceptional learning experience. Handcrafted, this instrument combines high-quality woods and robust construction, making it an ideal and durable choice for those beginning their violin journey. Its design and materials have been selected to produce a rich and balanced sound that motivates the musician in their progress.
The foundation of its excellent sound lies in the choice of woods. The top is constructed of solid spruce, a wood known for its resonance and ability to project a clear, bright tone. Solid flamed maple has been used for the sides and back, which not only adds striking visual beauty with its aged finish but also contributes to the warmth and depth of the sound. This combination of solid woods is essential for the instrument to mature and improve its timbre over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is size 1/2 recommended for?
The 1/2 size violin is generally recommended for children aged approximately 6 to 10 years, or with an arm length of between 50 and 56 cm (measured from the neck to the middle of the palm of the hand).
What does it mean for wood to be "solid"?
This means the top, back, and sides are made from solid wood, rather than laminates. This significantly improves the instrument's resonance and sound quality, allowing the tone to evolve and enhance over time.
Is it difficult for a beginner to tune?
No. Thanks to the four fine tuners built into the tailpiece, making small tuning adjustments is very easy. While the pegs are used for larger adjustments, the fine tuners allow for precise and effortless final tuning.
