The Antonio Vivaldi is our beginner violin with a setup that far exceeds the ability of the average starter instrument. High quality Despiau Bidge custom cut for each instrument, a custom fitted soundpost, and Thomastik Alphayue strings of better. Each instrument is expertly prepared to work with the student, not against them. The bridge and nut are filed to not cut the string, the pegs are treated to smoothly turn, built in fine tuners for weight reduction, and the string and nut height are corrected so it doesn't hurt to press the strings down.
The Antonio Vivaldi has a crisp, responsive, and bold tone that rings evenly and is comfortable to play. The ideal beginner violin to help a student sound less scratchy.
