Carlo Giordano 1/2 Violin

The Carlo Giordano 1/2 Violin is a student instrument for younger players who need a half-size violin. It suits learners who have moved past their first lessons and are starting to take on more demanding pieces, giving them an instrument scaled to their size while they develop.

The top is solid spruce, and the back, sides and neck are maple, the traditional pairing of tonewoods for the violin family. The body shape is designed to support comfortable posture, which helps a young player hold the instrument correctly and play accurately as their technique grows. The fittings are intended to keep the violin stable in tune, so practice and lesson time can go to playing rather than constant readjustment.

It is suitable for both orchestral parts and solo repertoire, so it can serve a student in school or youth ensembles as well as in individual study.
