Why aged tone woods and ebony are important
All string instruments, whether for a beginner or a professional, should be made from aged tone wood. The top of the violin is made from spruce, while the back, sides and scroll are made from maple. The aging process helps dry the wood out, creating better stability in the timber, increasing the durability, whilst also enhancing the resonance and acoustics of the instrument.
Ebony is a dense yet lightweight wood that is extremely durable. These qualities are essential for high-wear areas such as the pegs, nut, and fingerboard, as they won’t wear down or groove over time. Cheaper hardwoods used in many entry-level instruments don’t offer the same level of durability and hardness needed for playing the violin, and can lead to issues with tuning and playability.
Our Professional Instrument Set Up
Our beginner instruments are professionally set up by our experienced luthiers and workshop technicians right here in Sydney.
A string instrument that hasn’t been properly set up can be hard to play, difficult to keep in tune, and often produces a poor sound — which can be especially discouraging for beginners. A correct setup ensures the instrument is comfortable, responsive, and enjoyable to play.
A professional setup includes shaping and fitting the bridge, preparing the fingerboard, fitting the soundpost and pegs, and sculpting the nut to ensure correct string spacings. For more information on a professional setup, click here.
