a five string violin with viola-like construction - VN13
£880 SOLD
This instrument is built on a violin-sized scale length, but using the dimensions of a viola: its body is deeper than a traditional violin's would be. This provides more support to the C string, which on a violin-sized body can sometimes sound weak on a five string instrument.
The result is a darker toned five string violin - its sound has some of the richness and bass that you'd expect from a viola, plus a smooth violin-like upper register. It's the ideal instrument for someone who is used to playing on a violin-length scale, or has smaller hands.
fitted with:
* Knilling perfection geared pegs. Luxury version with ebony peg heads.
* Light weight wooden tailpiece with dyneema tailcord for lively upper resonance.
* Thomastik vision strings.
Comes with a deluxe rectangular black fabric covered hard foam case.
