Rue Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'm apologizing in advance...I'm having my first coffee of the morning...I'm on holidays...and I had to laugh...and share ('cuz my better half doesn't quite get it...but then again I don't get his excitement over new golf clubs and innovations either...) This is an advanced 1/32 violin (yes I know what it means...but I chose to read it 'wrong')...which just confirms what I already knew...that children aged 1-5 (the target consumer of this size instrument) are potentially better players than I am... Now...what actually caught my eye was the bright yellow accessories...which caught my eye in a bad way... Is this some staining trend I haven't yet come across...or just an experiment gone wrong...or is it just intended to appeal to the aesthetics of the toddler crowd? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/STUDENT-CHILD-1-32-GLORIA-1-VIOLIN-FLAMED-MAPLE-ACCESSORIES-CODE-B7577-/7406518818?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1b9768222 And why no fine tuners on this instrument? No room? Not of use? I have no experience with instruments smaller than a 3/4, so I really don't know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertdo Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think, but of course it's only an opinion, that selling 1/32 "advanced" violins for 1-3 years old children is like selling an "advanced" low speed electron collider to lay people in the hope that one of them will discover a new physic law think that most of the greatest violin players started taking violin lesson between 5 and 7, probably with no less than a 1/4 violin (or even larger)...

fiddlesurgeon Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Maybe for her? She must be just playing on the open string notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rue Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 LOL...not fair! She even has it memorized! Well...advanced or not...I have to admit that those tiny violins are awfully cute. Must be a pain to make though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseBrano Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 That looks like the beginnings of a very nice bow arm for that young lady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
