This instrument has a slightly more mellow sound than its gloss counterpart. This will make a good companion for any serious beginner or intermediate player looking to reach their next level of their musical journey.  It is a popular choice amongst many customers and one of our best selling violins due to its aesthetic appearance and guaranteed sound quality.  It has enough depth to serve as a soloist instrument for intermediate examinations, in a student orchestra or as a backup instrument for an advanced violinist.
