Frequently Asked Questions
The natural resin varnish is fairly robust, but it's still wood and susceptible to scratches. Supervision and careful handling are still recommended.
The solid wood construction provides a noticeably warmer and more resonant tone than most composite models, giving it more character and a more 'cello-like' sound.
The 1/16 size is designed for very young players; it's likely to be outgrown relatively quickly and require upgrading to a larger size.
