It is a highly reputable brand used by many professionals. This 1/2 size violin, when test played, has a very good balance, is bright, and evokes Italian violins. Despite its size, it has good projection and is powerful, making it suitable for competitions. The sound is crisp, similar to a Pirastro, with a bright, energetic tone that is not harsh. It was originally sold new for around ¥250,000. This is not a cheap violin. This violin is recommended for those who prioritize tone and do not mind scratches on the varnish. ◇Please Read.
