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. NO assembly or setup is required with a violin that is ready to tune and play from the moment you open the case. 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

I recently decided to get back into playing strings after almost a decade away from them, and so was looking for a violin to start on. After much searching, I came across this violin and found that it exceeded all others in its price range; after receiving it and playing it for a while, I can confirm that it is just as good (if not better) than advertised. The overall quality is very good, and I have had no problems with it whatsoever to this point. The sound quality is very nice even when played by someone as out of practice as myself. If you are trying to decide between this and another beginner violin, I can tell you with confidence that you won't be disappointed in the G2, and will be surprised you didn't pay more.Some other points of consideration:- Check kennedyviolins.com before, during, or after your order; they have a number of options available when purchasing that you may not be aware of if you've only looked them up on Amazon. These include string upgrades, individual vs built-in fine-tuners, package deals to include tuners, stands, etc.- Just to confirm what everyone else has said, Kennedy Violins are indeed very customer-oriented and will help you with whatever you might need.- As it says in the description, professional set up is indeed included, to the point where they'll tune it and even rosin the bow for you. Humidity levels were very different between them and myself, so the tuning was off, but it was much less work than having to string it myself.In summary, the violin is wonderful for its price, and the seller could not be more helpful. Highly recommended.
