Raggetti RV7 and Master Series (Advanced)

I’ve been selling the Raggetti RV7 now for quite some time and its proven to be a really popular violin and lead me to the Master Series Instruments as well.

Ragetti Rv7 Violin ( Intermediate, Advanced)

Its popular for me because i can buy them instrument only (coming with no strings, bridge, tail piece chin rest etc… bow or case ), this means the buy price is lower and can hold more of them in stock at any given time. Then as I need I can set them up from my parts drawers as demand requires and I don’t have to have as many cases taking up room etc…  Also because i have complete freedom over how I set it up I can tailor it to the needs of my local community with string selection and accessories it comes with. Some customers wanting a great violin that will grow with them or their child will pair it with a secondhand case/bow, others a bit more advanced will buy a new bow or a better bow to really make it perform. I’ve set this instrument up with a variety of strings from entry level Alphayue up to Evah Pirazzis to meet various price and sound points. Mostly I set them up with Pirastro Violinos, which are a warmer string that compliment and balance the brightness of the instrument nicely .

The Rv7 is a real step up from the RV2 and RV5 student instruments with improved timbers and a variety of finishing styles. Raggetti’s are are well balanced instrument across the registers and the RV7 has quite a bit more body than its siblings. Its a violin that can comfortably take someone through to University level playing , but at a really nice price point.  

Raggetti Master Series Violins

Raggetti Master Series (Advanced)

The Raggetti master series instruments, which are authentic copies of famous violin models , complete with antiquing in the more advanced instruments. These come out of Peter Guan’s workshop and are are mostly single maker instruments where careful attention to the timbers and varnishing lead to faithful reproduction of famous models like the 1714 Strad Soil 1714 , Lady Stretton, Lord Wilton 1742, Cremonese 1713. You can also gte them made in italian spruce if your really chasing that old world authenticity/ sound. 

Oh they also sound amazing.  I generally have one from this in my shop but can order and set these up to your specifications (from pegs type, bridge and strings and tail piece.
