OQAN OV150 4/4 - Study Violin with Solid Spruce Top
The OQAN OV150 4/4 is a meticulously handcrafted student violin designed to offer students and musicians a superior learning experience and high-quality sound. Its construction is based on select hardwoods, ensuring both excellent resonance and exceptional durability. The top is made of solid spruce, a wood renowned for its ability to produce a clear and bright tone. The back and sides are crafted from solid flamed maple, which not only provides structural strength but also adds unique visual beauty with its distinctive grain and contributes to a warm, full-bodied sound.
This violin stands out for its attention to detail. The fingerboard is made of ebony, a dense and durable wood that ensures comfortable playing and a long lifespan. The main fittings, such as the tailpiece, pegs, and chinrest, are crafted from boxwood, prized for its reliability and classic aesthetic. Furthermore, the bridge has been specially treated to optimize the transmission of string vibrations to the body of the instrument. It features hand-inlaid purfling, a handcrafted detail that protects the edges of the violin and demonstrates its meticulous craftsmanship. Its aged and varnished finish not only lends it an elegant and traditional appearance but also protects the wood.
