Advancing students For advancing student outfits we offer a choice of new handmade imported instruments with high specifications. These provide a reasonably priced alternative to an antique instrument for students. These outfits are made by hand in small workshops. High quality materials are used, including selected tonewoods. Each violin is personally selected, fitted with Dominant strings and set up to a high standard by Anthony Nickolds in the workshop. The outfits include bow and dart shaped case. These improved instruments benefit from: Dominant or Tonica strings, pegs working properly, shooting the fingerboard (Planing) to correct camber, refined bridge fit and correct bridge and top nut height for correct string action and ease of playing, refit and position of the soundpost. Optional case- oblong violin case
