Thank you for viewing. This is the Xue Ping XP-5. Xue Ping Workshop was established in 1989. They produce high-quality products, including an award at the 2006 International Violin Making Competition. The XP-5 is a higher-end model. As you can see in the photos, this instrument is made with Italian-style varnish, etc. The sound is also Italian-like, bright and with a core. As the workshop won the Tone Award at the International Violin Making Competition, it has a very attractive tone. (Personal impression) Both the spruce and maple materials are well-selected, high-quality ones. These materials are naturally dried for 8-12 years and then stored in a drying room, following the European method. The scroll carving is deep and carefully crafted. Although it is made in China, the price is kept down, making it a very cost-effective instrument. This time, we are offering it at a low price from the original price of 369,000 yen. There are no cracks or splits. It is ready to play immediately. Includes bow and high-quality case.
