Frequently Asked Questions

It's a spirit varnish, described as hand-applied, but the level of artistry is typical of factory finishes – consistent but not bespoke.
It's a bit warmer and more focused than many budget violins, owing to the spruce top and Despiau bridge, but lacks the depth and complexity of more premium instruments.
It's standard ebony – a decent grade for this price point, but not the highest quality, so it might show some wear over time.
