How to Choose the Right Violin in Kenya
1. Choose the Correct Size
Size should be one of your first considerations. Young children generally need smaller fractional violins, while adult players and larger students commonly use a 4/4 violin. The correct size helps make the instrument easier and more comfortable to handle.
2. Consider the Player’s Age and Development
Children grow, so the violin size that works today may eventually need to be replaced with a larger model. Sound Master Kenya offers multiple fractional sizes, making it possible to select an instrument according to the player’s current requirements.
3. Check the Construction
Look at the materials used for the top, back, sides, fingerboard, fittings and other components. For example, the Golden Leaf 1/2 uses a solid spruce top with maple back and sides, while different Vienna models use different construction specifications.
4. Check What Comes With the Violin
Some violin outfits include useful accessories such as a bow, case and rosin. These accessories can be especially important for beginners purchasing their first instrument.
5. Consider Your Budget
Set a realistic budget before choosing a model. Sound Master Kenya’s current selection provides several price points, allowing buyers to compare smaller student instruments and full-size violins.
Violin Accessories and Strings
Buying a violin is only part of maintaining a playable setup. Strings are consumable accessories and may eventually need replacement as they wear out or lose their desired playing characteristics.
Sound Master Kenya currently lists ALICE violin strings, including ALICE Violin Strings No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 at KSh 200 per listed product.
When purchasing replacement strings, check that they are appropriate for your violin size and follow the manufacturer’s specifications.
