This violin pleases from every viewpoint. Not only is it well-made of a fine selection of materials, but it is also well-toned and responds with ease - a pleasure to play.
The Czechoslovakian output of violins during the 1960s through to the early 1990s are today increasingly being appreciated for the high quality of materials, workmanship and particularly tonal properties. They were consistent in their standards and these instruments today are sought-after and appreciated.
Their workshops produced instruments of several grades - from beginner, through intermediate and advanced, to entry level professional, always well-crafted from a good selection of materials.
In this violin one notices the attractive nicely flamed maple used in the two-piece back, ribs, neck and scroll, along with the lovely amber varnish that beautifully compliments the wood. Workmanship throughout is refined with attention to detail.
This violin would open a wide door of progress for a talented young musician.
