Scarlatti VL 1/2 starterset

Descrizione

This attractively priced violin, which comes very complete including bow and violin case, is the Scarlatti VL 1/2. The right choice if you want to check for a while whether this beloved bowed instrument is the best instrument for your son or daughter. The 1/2 is a size used for children around 8 years old. Scarlatti VL violins are equipped with fine tuners and have a sound box made of solid woods (spruce and maple).

The violin size 1/2

The size 1/2 is suitable for children with an arm length of about 53 cm. You measure this from the middle of the palm to the neck, directly below the jaw. The hand should now be able to fold comfortably around the curl, with the fingers pointing to the face and the elbow very slightly bent. If in doubt between two sizes, it is best to take the smaller of the two. By the way, 1/2 does not mean that this violin is twice as small as a normal 4/4 violin; the difference is much smaller.

• Note: Before use, read the 'Instructions for preparing Scarlatti violins for playing'.
