Things being tight this year for
many people, we find our €155 range "Bon Novice"
most popular. We also have them in several sizes (1/4 1/2 and
3/4) secondhand at €120 a lot of the time (we automatically
offer them in the size needed if we have them but do feel free to
ask!)
People also ask us "what's the difference between these and
say, something selling at 80 or 90 euro?" The main
difference is of course quality - they are better violins. Then
they are finished in our own workrooms, by hand, with pegs
strings bridge and sound post all fitted perfectly. This ensures
that the student violin produces the best sound it is capable of
producing and that it is easy to tune and maintain. Ours are
instruments to learn on, rather than toys or kits. And of course
you get our after sales service - we can adjust anything, correct
any problems or indeed tune it up for you :)
