Kennedy Violins 1/4 Size G2 Violin Outfit - Solid Maple Wood & Ebony Fittings with Carrying Case & Bow - Perfect for Beginners, Students & Young Musicians - Ideal for School Orchestras, Music Lessons & Home Practice

The Ricard Bunnel Violin G2 Outfit is an all-in-one package for new players, young and old. One of our most popular student violins, it is available in all sizes, the Ricard Bunnel G2 is a quality instrument offered at great value. The oil finish is a unique feature usually seen on more expensive violins. Student-level string instruments are typically coated with a thick, glossy lacquer finish that hinders quality tone production. The Ricard Bunnel has an authentic, hand-rubbed oil finish. It not only looks more professional, but remains true to historical, tried-and-true standards of handcrafted violin making. The finish, construction, fittings, and design of the Ricard Bunnel give this instrument a warm and more projective sound than student violins at the same cost category. All Ricard Bunnel Violin Outfits now come with a complete package of accessories including a high quality shoulder rest, extra strings, and more! The following product is listed as a clearance instrument due to a slight cosmetic flaw that will not affect the sound or playability in any way. All final assembly and FREE setup is performed locally in the USA by our professional luthier staff.

Professional set up includes: Accurately planed and smoothed fingerboard.Custom-fit bridge is hand-carved, arched, shaped, and notched.Bridge feet are fit to the curvature of the violin.The nut is carved to professional standard measurements.Pegs are fitted and treated for smooth operation.

VIOLIN SIZE CHART Use the sizing chart to choose the correct size from the arm measurement. Follow these instructions for the most accurate size: First, with arm outstretched to the side, measure the player's arm from the base of neck to mid-palm. Check the size chart below for the right size of violin according to arm length measurement. Always choose the smaller size if the student is in-between sizes. A larger instrument will hinder the student’s ability to play properly. The deciding factor is if the student is able to, or very close to, playing the 4th finger. If they can reach this fingering the violin will be usable. Extend arm fully to the side and perpendicular to the body.Measure from the base of the neck to the middle of the palm.If you are between sizes, size down. Please use the sizing chart below to assist you. 1/16 14"–15" arm length, usually 3–5 years age 1/10 15"–16" arm length, usually 3–5 years age 1/8 16"–18" arm length, usually 3–5 years age 1/4 18"–20" arm length, usually 4–7 years age 1/2 20"–22" arm length, usually 6–10 years age 3/4 22"–23" arm length, usually 9–11 years age 4/4 23" and up arm length, usually 12 years and up in age
