To begin with, violins in this series are hand carved: each is carefully built by an experienced Suzuki luthier using the traditional method - by carving out the front and back plates from a sufficiently thick, thoroughly dried and aged wood plate. To make this model, Suzuki used what it described as "carefully selected" Spruce for the top and "carefully selected" Maple for the back/sides/neck. The pegs, fingerboard, tailpiece, nut, and end pin are made of high-quality Ebony. Accessory OptionThe price shown is for instrument only. However, if you need a full outfit, you can purchase the accessory set shown in the images for just $120 - a subsidized price.

Suzuki ViolinsIn the event you are not familiar with Suzuki's model line-up, their model numbers are very easy to understand: - the 200 series (such as 200, 220, 280, etc.) are high quality and very popular beginner models; - the 300 series (300, 310, 330, etc.) are "intermediate" violins for progressing students; - the 500 series (500, 520, 540, 550) are "advanced" violins; - the Eternal series (1100 and 1200 - roughly similar to the old No. 580 and No. 620) are targeted at professional musicians - "orchestra" grade models; - the Heritage series (1400s and 1500s) are targeted at professional musicians - "soloist" grade models. Within each series, models with the higher number tend to have greater value. #V109
