Student Violin Outfits
$679.00 plus sales tax
We are now carrying the well-known Howard Core model A-14 violin outfits. We can only apologize for the price increase which was totally out of our control, and Tariff related.
We setup and offer our student violin outfits as shown below. Don’t be fooled by lower pricing elsewhere on these; it’s easy to cut corners and costs with student steel strings, junk wood bows and flimsy cases…but we don’t. The Bobelock case will last for years, not months. The included Dominant strings (now over $75 a set) will give a full, powerful sound. The fiberglass bow will stay straight, and keep it’s camber. And our shop adjustment assures that the fingerboard is correct, the bridge is the right height, and the soundpost is where it’s supposed to be…
Our A-14 violin is set up here in the workshop with Wittner tailpiece, Thomastik Dominant strings, and ebony fittings. The chinrest is your choice of ebony, or a Wittner composite center or side model. The bow is the 1088 fiberglass bow with horsehair, and the case is the Bobelock 1002 velour. Each outfit will have both rosin and an Everest shoulder rest as standard.
A two-year limited warranty accompanies each instrument!
