GEWA Maestro 2 Violin Outfit, Bulletwood Bow, Oblong Case, 4/4 - Secondhand

Full Description

Selected European tonewoods

The Gewa Maestro 2 Violin is the ideal instrument for advancing students. The European solid spruce top creates a beautiful tone, which is then enhanced by the maple ribs and back to create a powerful and colourful sound. It's in the nature of these quality European tonewoods that with age they produce an even warmer, more refined tone. This means the instrument's tone will improve over time, making the Maestro 2 a long-lasting choice.

All in the details...

Similar to more expensive violins, the Maestro 2 includes full ebony fittings. Not only do these look great, but they're also hardwearing compared to cheaper woods. This is especially important for the pegs, as they endure a lot of tension from the strings, so it's important they retain their strong structure. For the fingerboard, this hard surface allows you to move quickly between the notes and it won't show signs of wear.

The Aubert "Mirecourt" luthier's bridge is a high quality bridge that has been treated for maximum hardness and solid shape so the sound can resonate effectively. This French company craft delicate bridges to bring out the best in your sound. For the perfect finish, the Maestro 2 violin has been varnished, creating an antique look.

Larsen Il Cannone strings

Il Cannone strings are a celebration of Paganini's legacy. Boasting an open and colourful sound with fantastic projection, Il Cannone strings are guaranteed to bring out the best tone from your violin. While developing Il Cannone strings, Larsen worked closely with musicians to ensure they made a set of strings which are exceptional in every way. And they succeeded. When playing with Il Cannone strings, you'll notice how great they feel on the fingerboard and how the resistance on the bow is perfect. Clear, brilliant, and full of intricate harmonics, these Larsen Il Canonne strings offer a truly revolutionary sound.

Included with the Maestro 2 violin is a lightweight oblong case with plenty of storage. For ease of use, the case includes backpack straps to ensure that commuting is never an issue. The inside of the case can hold up to two bows, and even features a small accessory pocket - ideal for the included rosin.

Also included is a bow crafted from quality Bulletwood that is octagonally shaped for a comfortable grip when performing. Similar to more expensive bows, the bow features bright lapping, a comfortable thumb grip, and a three-piece looking end screw for a premium look. This bow also uses natural horsehair for the best possible sound and is suitable for any full-size violin.
