Amdini AC100 violin is completely handcrafted with solid spruce top, maple back and sides. It is fitted with a maple fingerboard, pegs, and chin rest, and an alloy tailpiece with four integrated fine tuners. This violin includes a tuner, simple manual, lightweight hard case, bow, adjustable shoulder rest, rosin, and extra bridge & strings, making this package ideal for beginners.<br><br>In order to make a sound from the violin, the bow needs rosin powder.<br><br>Follow instruction to Tightening the Pegs:<br>* Push the pegs inward as you tune the strings up to pitch. This ensures that the pegs hold tighter as the tension of the string goes up.<br>* Use peg compound to help lock the pegs in place. You can also apply chalk (or rosin cake) onto the pegs where it is inserted into the peg box.<br><br>How to choose violin sizes<br><br>Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.<br><br>To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The table image lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.
