Frequently Asked Questions

It's genuinely hand-applied; you can often see subtle variations in the finish, which contributes to the instrument's character – though this also means each violin will look slightly different.
It generally offers a richer and more complex tone than many budget options; the solid spruce top and European woods contribute to a warmer, more mature sound.
They are genuine ebony, which is important for durability and a good response – a common cost-cutting measure is to use a substitute, but Gewa has avoided that here.
