Primavera 200 Antiqued Violin Outfit

What We Say

These rather lovely looking violins are our best selling of the Primavera line, and they're great value either as a first instrument or even as a step up from a basic entry level violin. The big draw on this model is the very classy looking reddish brown varnish - cheap violins usually model the dipped in lacquer look, and this couldn't be more different, instead having a very pretty antique effect. It's also thinly applied, which leaves the wood free to resonate, and these are extremely good sounding violins for their price point. Rounding off the package is a nice rectangular case and a carbonite bow.

Primavera 200s ship with a reasonable quality set of metal strings that are more than adequate for a beginner, however we regularly fit upgraded strings such as Thomastik Alphague or Dominant strings to Primaveras and it significantly improves the tone - we're always happy to do this to any cello we sell for the price of the strings, and of course if you buy a cello with the stock strings and decide to upgrade six months later we can help you then as well.

One area to be aware of with student violin family instruments is that they rarely play well out of the box: the bridges are usually left a little high and the changes is temperature and humidity associated with shipping instruments from the Far East means that, however well set up at the factory, they often suffer from stiff or sticking pegs and other issues. For this reason all of our arriving stock goes through our technical department where we check the fit of the pegs and the bridge and adjust as recessary, assuring that the instrument you buy will play perfectly.  

What They Say
