The Franz Helmer represents an excellent value for the beginning student. These violins come from finer Chinese workshops, set-up and adjusted at Gailes Violin Shop. Featuring inlaid purfling and ebony fittings and offering good playability and a quick and easy response, Franz Helmer/GVS instruments are available from size 1/16 to full-size at various price points.

This is a 4/4 used violin. Normal wear and tear is evident, but as pictures indicate, it is in good, attractive condition.
