The importance of setting a young player up with a correctly sized violin can not be overstated. It can make all the difference when it comes to maintaining a child’s enthusiasm.
The same can be said for the quality of instrument.
At The Prairie Fiddler, I understand the hesitancy of a parent to make a large expenditure when there’s no guarantee the child will ‘stick with it’. With this in mind, my focus is not only fitting and setting up the instrument for each individual, but providing a good quality instrument at a reasonable price.
Along with my basic Aiersi line of student violins, I also have a selection of high quality, vintage European-made violins. Check out my listings:
