When we show student violins in this price range I will bring in 4 to 7 different instruments, new and used.  After trying the instruments about 75% of the time the customer will pick the Capriccio.  It punches way about it's moderate price.  We've been highly impressed over years by the performance of this beautiful and well made instrument. It's our best seller with surprisingly rich sound and great craftsmanship. You will get many years of enjoyment out of the Capriccio. It comes strung with Thomastik Alphayue nylon core strings plus a carbon fibre bow and arrow case. As always, it includes a lifetime trade-up option and a Top Performance set-up by our own shop. The trade option is your full purchase price less a small trade fee toward a more expensive value in the future. $45 flat rate shipping continental USA.
