The Learn To Play Violin

This hand-carved solid wood violin and instructional DVD help aspiring virtuosos learn finger placement for proper play in real time. The DVD includes 22 lessons by legendary Bluegrass fiddler Kenny Kosek that teach the fundamentals of tuning, proper arm positioning, bowing techniques, and how to play your first song: Jack of Diamonds. The violin is an authentic, full-size instrument with a spruce top and a maple neck, back, and ribs that produce rich, full sound. The maple bridge, solid ebony fingerboard and fittings, built-in fine tuners, and a precisely balanced Brazilwood bow with real, unbleached horsehair provide the feel of a professional violin while remaining manageable for novices. Includes automatic tuning software, adjustable shoulder rest, rosin cake, pitch pipe, and a hard-sided carrying case. Ages 13 and up. 23 1/2" L x 8 1/4" W x 2 1/2" D. (5 lbs.)
