Description
The Primavera 100 offers an excellent entry to violin playing.
An ideal instrument for the beginner, the Primavera is the first choice of many violin teachers & suitable to take students through their first grades. This outfit features 'standard steel' strings as a factory default but an upgrade to a string of your choice, is available at the cost of the new set.
If you would like a specific set of strings to be fitted then please call or email and we will be happy to advise. We would recommend a set of 'Ascente' strings by D'addario as a cost effective suitable upgrade for this instrument. Please click here to add a set to your basket.
This means that the instrument is worked on & improved by the luthier in our workshop before despatch. We adjust the bridge & nut for correct height, curvature & string spacing. Tailpiece and pegs are adjusted for smooth operation. In the case of outfits, the bow is rosined and checked for smooth adjustment.

Pros: Lovely little violin outfit - arrived in good condition, with nice case and bow. Instrument is well made! Pegs are well fitted, bridge is fine, unlike some other outfits which all seem mismatched and takes a long time to sort out - having to file bridges down, etc - nightmare. This violin is great and it arrived so. With regards to the sound - can't fully comment as the player is so young that it is clearly difficult to tell - but it doesn't sounds overly tinny ! Quality of bow and hair on the bow also seems good enough.
Cons: Lack of tuning adjusters. These are difficult to find for a 1/32 size violin! I was informed when I asked after the instrument arrived that the shop cannot source these and/or an alternative instrument which will have them built into a tailpiece...surely somewhere will have them - I have seen them on 1/32 size violins before!

Pros: We have purchased this violin in both 1/4 and now 1/2 size for our daughter. There's very little to criticise about this violin - everything is correctly proportioned and it offers outstanding value for money, especially since it comes with case, bow, chinrest and rosin. For a child, starting out, it's not obvious why you would need to spend more, with the one caveat below (you'll possibly want to replace the strings).
Cons: The 1/4 sized instrument came with some obscure Thomastik Infeld strings. These were absolutely fine and we never felt a need to change them. When we swapped for the 1/2 size it was strung with D'Addario Prelude strings and these were just awful. We struggled with them for a couple of months, to see if they would settle down, but they just needed constant re-tuning every time the violin was played. Eventually we gave up and swapped for a set of Dominants and that made all the difference. At this price one really can't complain, but perhaps a better choice of budget string is out there. The Dominants sound miles better and stay in tune as well.

Cons: Nothing.
Other: This is my second purchase from the Stringzone. The last one arrived promptly too.
