"No.1100 Eternal Violin ¥495,000

The Eternal Violin is a violin that Suzuki recommends with confidence.
We carefully select only fully seasoned spruce and maple native to Europe.
In this class, you can clearly feel the true value of the Eternal Violin. Not only is it easy to operate and the speed at which the sound rises, but you can clearly feel the beauty of the sound that comes from the top plate as the back plate of the instrument vibrates. The volume and sound quality are carefully considered for concert hall effects, and are especially recommended for orchestra players and soloists.

Size: 4/4 only 
Top board: High quality spruce
Back board, side board, neck: High quality maple
Fingerboard, spool, tailpiece, chinrest: Ebony"

This 1999 Suzuki No. 1100 is in MINT condition. It is completely defect-free - there are no cracks, repairs, seam separations, or visible blemishes or scratches. Very minor, if any, traces of prior use.

The violin is light and responsive and has a rich, complex tone. Equipped with premium Pirastro Synoxa strings (the set retails new on Amazon for $87) and play-ready.
