Glanville & Co. Daintree D30 Violin
The D30 is the third instrument in the Daintree range by Glanville & Co. Glanville & Co. is a local workshop located right in the heart of Sydney. They were founded on the belief that all Australians should have access to music education and quality instruments that will nurture their development. It is through the fusion of technology & tradition that Glanville & Co. have been able to produce high-quality, customisable, innovative & affordable instruments that are entirely Australian made. This instrument comes with a certificate of authenticity & professional photos.
The D30 has a two-piece, well-flamed maple back & the top is made from spruce. This instrument is based on a Stradivari violin model. This violin has a good cover of dark-brown varnish and has been antiqued with a high-level of detail. The colour & antiquing of this violin has been inspired by the dark tones of the Daintree Rainforest. The D30 has ebony fittings & a Teller bridge.
Due to the superior timber, varnish & workmanship the D30 has a beautifully well-rounded, open & broad sound. Overall, this instrument is deeply resonant & powerful, creating a superbly balanced & smooth tone between both the high & low registers. This instrument would be suitable for the high-level intermediate to advanced player or the serious amateur. This violin is strung with Larsen Virtuoso strings to add a level of brightness & focus to the overall sound.
