OQAN OV150 3/4 - Study Violin with Solid Spruce Top
The OQAN OV150 in 3/4 size is a student violin designed to offer students an exceptional learning experience with a high-quality instrument. Handcrafted, this violin combines select solid woods to produce a rich, warm tone with excellent projection—essential characteristics for a musician's aural development. The solid spruce top provides clarity and resonance, while the solid flamed maple back and sides not only contribute structural strength but also a classic and elegant aesthetic with their aged finish. This instrument is an ideal choice for young musicians aged 9 to 11, as well as adults with smaller hands, ensuring a comfortable playing position and easier playing.
Every detail of the OV150 has been carefully considered to ensure its durability and ease of use. The fingerboard is made of ebony, a dense and resilient wood favored in high-end instruments for its smooth feel and ability to withstand long hours of practice without wear. The fittings, such as the tailpiece, pegs, and chinrest, are crafted from boxwood, which provides a firm grip and stable tuning. Furthermore, the tailpiece features four integrated fine tuners, allowing for easy and precise adjustments. The hand-inlaid purfling is not only an ornamental detail but also protects the instrument's edges from cracking, ensuring its longevity.

Benefits for the violinist
The OQAN OV150 is designed with the musician's progress in mind. The use of solid woods instead of laminates produces a significantly richer and more complex tone, helping students develop a more refined musical ear from the start. Comfort is key for consistent practice; therefore, its 3/4 size and carefully designed chinrest ergonomics allow for a natural, strain-free grip. The inclusion of a lightweight yet sturdy case with backpack straps and a sheet music pocket makes it easy to safely transport the instrument to lessons, rehearsals, or concerts.
Use cases
This violin is the perfect tool for beginner and intermediate students looking for a reliable instrument with a great sound for their formative years. It is highly recommended by music teachers and academies for its excellent build quality. Its 3/4 size makes it ideal for children and pre-teens (generally between 9 and 11 years old, depending on their height and arm length) and adults who require a smaller instrument for greater comfort.
