Gewa Allegro VL1 4/4 Violin Outfit, Bulletwood Bow and Shaped Case - Secondhand

Full Description

Engineered to perfection

The Gewa Allegro VL1 violin is the ideal instrument for ambitious beginners. By using the historic combination of a solid European Maple body with a solid European Spruce top, the VL1 violin produces a focused, powerful sound with plenty of body. And thanks to these European tonewoods, the instrument's tone will continue to improve over time.

Unlike other violins, the Allegro is CNC-machined compared to hand-carved. Not only does this enable GEWA to keep the cost down, but it also ensures that every single violin is made to the highest standards. This is especially important for schools and music centres.

Similar to more expensive violins, the Allegro includes full ebony fittings. Not only do these look great, but they're also hardwearing compared to cheaper woods. For the perfect finish, the VL1 violin has been hand-varnished with a coating of red-brown natural resin varnish.

Larsen Aurora strings

The Gewa Allegro VL1 comes professionally set-up with Larsen Aurora strings. Just like all Larsen string sets, Larsen Aurora strings offer an impressive response and playing characteristics. The combination of synthetic and steel cores alongside aluminium and silver windings have made these strings the new first choice for educators, students, and professional musicians alike.

Everything you need

Included with the Allegro VL1 violin is a lightweight shaped hard 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.
