Since its inception in 1976, its excellent design, beautiful sound, and artistic finish have influenced not only Japan but also the European and American markets, and have been supported by many musicians. ★DX-015 List Price: ¥400,000 The fractional size lineup at the time included the ST series (ST-02, ST-03) and the S series (S-012) from the bottom, and the higher-end DX series (DX-014, DX-015), which were made by hand, with the DX-015 being the top model. This was the most expensive fractional violin ever sold by Pygmalius, and the fractional DX series was produced in small numbers over a short period of time, making it an extremely rare item.
