The AV-34 is a 3/4-size violin outfit designed for younger students — typically ages 9 to 11 — who aren't quite ready for a full-size instrument. The smaller body and shorter neck length make proper technique and hand position much easier to develop. The hand-carved spruce top and maple back and sides deliver a balanced, clear tone.

Fine tuners on all four strings simplify tuning, and the included bow, rosin, and carrying case mean everything you need is right in the box. A reliable student violin for the growing musician.
