Description
The Bunnel Premier is an upgrade from our Bunnel Pupil. The Premier is an excellent choice for a beginning student instrument. It features improved quality of wood, providing a richer, warmer sound. The following instrument is listed on clearance due to a slight cosmetic defect which does not affect playability or sound in any way. Natural Oil Finish The oil finish is a unique feature usually seen on more expensive violins. Student-level string instruments from other retailers at this cost are typically coated with a thick, glossy lacquer finish that hinders quality tone production. The Ricard Bunnel has an authentic, hand-rubbed oil finish. It not only looks more professional, but remains true to historical, tried-and-true standards of hand-crafted violin making. The construction, fittings, finish, and design of the Ricard Bunnel Premier gives this instrument a warmer and more projective sound than competing student violins at the same cost category. FREE expert setup by our staff of professional luthiers is included with your purchase to meet or exceed all MENC specifications and standard measurements. At Kennedy Violins, the luthier staff ensures that each violin is individually setup, tuned, and inspected to our highest standards. Your violin will be ready to play when you receive it—not sent to you unstrung or in pieces as from other online retailers. Our setup includes the following: Smoothing the accurately planed fingerboard Arching the bridge Fitting bridge feet to the curvature of the violin Carving the nut to professional curvature Fitting pegs Polishing the finish See what sets our Violin Outfits apart!
