Like all Westbury stringed instruments, the Westbury violin is an absolutely superb choice for intermediate players, serious students and regular live performers.
For beginners making the step up from their first or second violin, the Westbury is the ideal choice due to it's use of finer quality maple and spruce wood which is hand carved to ensure optimum tone and resonance, as well as the inclusion of a beautiful Brazilwood octagonal bow, giving much better weight distribution than a standard beginner bow making it more comfortable to hold when playing.

Available in a full range of popular sizes (1/8 to 4/4) for young primary school students right through to adults, the Westbury also includes a dart shaped black hard case with an internal instrument blanket for excellent protection from any knocks or damage as well as dust and scratches. Back-pack straps and a large accessory pocket are also featured on the outside.

Further specific features of the instrument itself include a fingerboard, top-nut, chinrest and pegs all crafted from fine ebony. Ebony is a delicate soft black wood that has to be carefully handled due to its high-density, and is commonly used on more high-end instruments.

Set-up ready to play, the Westbury is fitted with factory standard strings, a French Despiau bridge, metal alloy tailpiece, and has a finely figured varnish finish and inlaid purfling for a stunning look!

All these fantastic high-grade features offer serious violinlists an instrument that not only looks impressive, but produces a wonderful tone that Westbury instruments are renowned for.
The difference compared to cheaper violins is clear, and the playability is second-to-none. Comfortable to play, with the feeling that real care and attention to detail has gone into the crafting of yours, and every other Westbury violin.
