A very nice combination of sweetness and power; responsive at all dynamic levels - a great value in performance-level violins. The maple has more pronounced flaming, and prepared with a golden ground, the amber-brown varnish is gently antiqued for an elegant appearance. Boxwood fittings with Guarneri model chinrest, Despiau "C" level bridge, adjusted with Thomastik Dominant A, D, & G strings with Pirastro Gold Label E (ball end). 4/4 size only
