The Violin:
The violin is fitted with ebony pegs and an anodized aluminum alloy fine
tuner tailpiece. We remove each peg then correctly fit and lubricate the peg to insure proper tuning. These features make the violin easy to tune, a necessity
for beginners. It has an ebony Fingerboard. This is something you do not find on the lowest priced violins. The outfit comes in an oblong case and includes an ebony frog bow with genuine Mongolian horsehair.
The violin is fully setup before shipping.
