Artist Model Violin from the shop of Zhenjie Zhao. This hand-carved violin is made with well-seasoned tonewoods. Features amazing flamed maple back, sides and neck and oil varnish that is shaded and slightly antiqued. The Z450 gives the Artist plenty of projection and beautiful warmth with clarity that is usually found in higher priced instruments. Thomastik Alphayue violin strings, a bridge cut by a master maker and fine quality ebony trim completes the set-up.
