GEWA Maestro 1 – 4/4 Violin

An instrument that keeps up

The Gewa Maestro 1 violin is the ideal instrument for advancing students. By using the tried and tested combination of a flamed European Maple body with a select solid European Spruce top, the Maestro 1 violin produces a beautiful tone full of power and colour. And thanks to the quality of these European tonewoods, the instrument’s tone will continue to improve over time.

Similar to more expensive violins, the Maestro 1 includes full ebony fittings. Not only do these look great, but they’re also hardwearing compared to cheaper woods. For the perfect finish, the Maestro 1 violin has been hand-varnished with a golden brown spirit with subtle gloss shading.

Larsen Il Cannone strings

Il Cannone strings are a celebration of Paganini’s legacy. Boasting an open and colourful sound with fantastic projection, Il Cannone strings are guaranteed to bring out the best tone from your violin. While developing Il Cannone strings, Larsen worked closely with musicians to ensure they made a set of strings which are exceptional in every way. And they succeeded. When playing with Il Cannone strings, you’ll notice how great they feel on the fingerboard and how the resistance on the bow is perfect. Clear, brilliant, and full of intricate harmonics, these Larsen Il Canonne strings offer a truly revolutionary sound.

Everything you need

Included with the Maestro 1 violin is a lightweight shaped hard case with plenty of storage. For ease of use, the case includes backpack straps to ensure that commuting is never an issue. The inside of the case can hold up to two bows, and even features a small accessory pocket – ideal for the included rosin.

Also included is a bow crafted from quality carbon. Similar to more expensive bows, the bow features bright lapping, a comfortable thumb grip, and a three-piece looking end screw for a premium look. This bow also uses natural horsehair for the best possible sound and is suitable for any full-size violin.
