The Enrico violins are a popular choice for a beginning violin, available nearly everywhere they are nearly bullet proof. The tone on any 1/2 size violin isn’t great so something like an Enrico performs Ok and doesn’t break the bank at around $250. I stock them alongside the Vivo Neo as they are a bit more recognisable.
They come with all the quality fittings to ensure they work and work well with :
Solid spruce top and maple back, neck and sides.
Ebony fingerboard, pegs and chinrest.
Lightweight tailpiece with inbuilt fine tuners.
Inlaid purfling.
And are a great choice as a first violin as a 1/2 size instrument.
