It's all in the detail
Play with confidence. All the elements of the Menuett come together to make a violin ready for student life. Ebony fittings are attractive and durable. On the fingerboard, the Ebony's tight grain requires no finishing, providing a hard, slick surface perfect for quick playing quality. When your finger speed increases as you advance through the grades, your violin can keep up. Ebony in the original Goetz Kaufmann chinrest continues this dark contrast against the Spruce. The sturdy Kaufmann model allows you a firm hold on your instrument.
Tune with ease. Make minute adjustments in between pieces with the precision fine tuners, set in the Wittner Ebony tailpiece. Your strings are secured on the high-grade Goetz bridge. Goetz original products are highly developed and internationally respected.
Good looks and more
Look professional with your violin. As you draw more attention with your accomplished playing, own an instrument you'll be proud to be seen with. The Menuett looks like a serious violin, with its deep, reddish-brown varnish, and matte finish. This finishing is resistant to damage and easy to preserve. Light flaming on the Maple and gradient annual rings on the wood show its quality.
Dominate with Dominants
Dominant strings suit every player. Made for keen violinists, they are a favourite with live, studio, and casual violinists alike. This versatile nature takes them all over the globe. Wherever they are, their clear sound sings out despite humidity, making themselves a name as a durable choice. It's no surprise they're so strong with a flexible, multi-strand nylon core. With Dominants at your fingertips, you won't lose your nerve when playing even the highest note, as it can be reached with the E string's steel core.
