Please note:-
All the violins and violas in the videos are RTP straight out of the outfit case, a quick string tune up and then bowed. When considering a purchase of one of these great Entry Level instruments please bear in mind:-
1. The instrument is not toned in as it is brand new and needs a little time to embed the tones inside it. Same goes for the actual strings themselves, settling down in tune and stabilised. A little time could be only one or two hours of playing to make that smooth difference heard!
2. Sometimes the sound post has moved slightly in transport, I'll check its position and reset it should it be out of aural alignment. If the balance is not 'tuned-in' so that's the bridge to the sound post there could be an imbalance across the four strings and 'pick-up' will not be flowing as easily as if in tune, like a slight distortion of sound can be heard. All this is simply remedied by listening and carefully re-positioning the sound post to the bridges expected normal position. Tonality will then be heavenly!
3. The instrument is of course checked over at all the vital places, such as tailpiece adjusting on the screws easily, chin rest clamped securely, bridge shape and thickness plus shaped well and overall finish of the varnish.
*****************************
The fine workmanship immediately promises a wonderful sound and tones to be played and heard. The maple back has distinctive curlsflame fingers and spruce grain and overall looks good and feels classy. *This viola or its cousin the violin is a result of working closer with my maker to produce this very attractive shade and finish of varnish. These tonewoods are getting justice in looking as good as they will sound when played!!
The join down the finger board and sides around the neck is seamless.
*******************************
Why do I call this #E range of models in all those listed here, "True Intermediate Violin or Viola"?
1. The tonewoods are significantly older and seasoned with the intention to be made into best as possible sounding violins in this Intermediate catagory.
2. The workmanship has increased in skill and time from the persons makng each model from Entry level.
3. Model #05 is a consistently top quality made violin with assured rich tones and colour. And I've met the export sales lady who happens to be part of the family firm and am in business contact with her.
4. This #05 is only made by one maker before varnishing and their small but dedicated and skillful workforce faithfully put all the care in to making your next big step forward violin, viola or cello - with real TLC!!
5. These #05 models are so versatile where inside the range the maker has at least three options of varnish finish and style. i) rich hi gloss, ii) flat antiqued darker golden brown, iii) lightly antiqued semi-sheen and in colour. This gives the customer and me the right choices to make matching to the customers' tastes. And all in for this price!
6. Once you see, pick up and play the instrument you know you've made a big jump up in sound and a big smile will come to your face!!..)))
