BUENA PARK, CA (July 2, 2004) Yamaha's entry-level acoustic violins feature high-end specifications at a student-friendly price.
The AV5-12SK, AV5-34SK and AV5-44SK student acoustic violins include features usually found on more expensive instruments. Combining traditional craftsmanship with Yamaha's advanced technology, the instruments were inspired by Guarneri del Gesu's design and development of Yamaha's V30 and V60 violins. The violins are designed, sized, and priced for beginning and intermediate students. They combine the quality Yamaha is known for with value that teachers, parents, and students will enjoy. The outfit includes an innovative, stackable ABS plastic case with an interior pocket for a shoulder rest.
All models feature carved Spruce tops and Maple backs, Ebony fingerboards, oil varnish, inlaid purfling, Rosewood tuning pegs and tailpieces, and expert set-ups completed by luthiers at the internationally renowned Guarneri House. All models are currently available. The violins include the instrument, plastic case and a horsehair bow.
