V101 Step-Up Violin Outfit

Description

Step-Up instruments are the next step in your musical journey.  They are usually a little more expensive than a beginner level instrument.  They offer a broader dynamic performance range and help the advancing musician hear more of what is going on musically which allows the player and audience to enjoy a wider range of tonal characteristics.  The tonewood is aged a little longer and is a bit thinner making it more responsive.  The varnish is usually a little softer and more flexible allowing the wood to move more and produce a broader range of sounds.  Artistically shaded alcohol varnish also enhances the beauty of the wood and makes the violin appear older than it actually is.
