Primo Violino Etude Outfits

Primo Violino: Providing a better first instrument

The Primo Violino Etude is a solid step up from the Primo "Fiddlestix". The plates (front and back) are more finely carved than the Primo "Fiddlestix" so the tone is far more refined.

We can say with confidence that these setup violins are far better in construction and sound than most competition priced far higher. Moreover, our customers and their teachers are very happy with these instruments: Read Testimonials and watch customer's video

Made in Beijing for Fiddleheads.ca.

 

"Deluxe" Upgraded Setup on Top of the Instrument Upgrade

Setup gets the most out of the acoustical potential of the Primo Violino Etude.

Okay, so what is Setup?

To best explain the importance of setup and strings, imagine a sportscar. Setup is the fine tuning of the car, to make sure all the parts are aligned and firing properly. The strings are like the tires. So, if you imagine a fine vehicle with a bad tuneup and bald tires being compared to the same style car with specialised improvements and performance tires, you get the picture.

Setup by our shop with even more attention to detail and including $55 French-made Corelli Crystal perlon strings (other strings by request, such as Thomastik Dominants for extra cost).

The better quality ebony fittings are fitted and easy to use. Your choice of one or four fine tuners on the tailpiece.

The outifit is finished with better quality student rosin, a student wood bow and a better quality economy model canvas covered case with exterior pocket and complimentary strap. All the things a player needs to get started!

You May Consider Upgrading to the Next Level Up: Xuechang Sun Violins

I was looking for a 1/8 violin for my daughter and I found Fiddleheads.ca on the Internet. I checked through the site and found it is very informative. I sent Rhiannon a couple emails about my concerns and she replied and solved my questions right away.

I ordered a 1/8 size [VN-100] Violin Outfit and received it excellent condition. The violin sounds very good, much better than the one we have and also the bow and case are fabulous.

I really suggest anyone who is looking for a violin shall contact Rhiannon since, as a violinist and teacher, she knows everything about violin. You would be really satisfied by her customer service.

Student Instruments from the Workshop of an Award-Winning Maker

Sun Violins feature seasoned wood with lovely flame, quality oil varnish and far superior craftmanship & tone than competing name-brand models.

No need for upgraded setup; The Sun comes standard with Dominant strings and upgraded setup. It's all included in the purchase price.

Sun Violins offer exceptional value to our customers who want quality and a guarantee the instrument's tone will improve.

Finally, these are the very same instruments Rhiannon recommends to her own intermediate students at Fiddleheads Violin School.

"I, too, am enjoying my [Sun VN-100] violin very much. It is a huge improvement over the one I started out with.

"I do love the sound that comes through... I reverberates though the wood so nicely and for me is a very nice experience.

"If I had had it to start out with, I dare say that I would be much better with playing and would have looked so much more forward to getting it out and practicing.

"Using a poorly crafted instrument could be quite instrumental, excuse the play on words, in discouraging a student.

"Having experienced that fuller bodied sound that I have now is very pleasurable for me. Thanks!"

- "Grandpa" Joe, Mission BC
