The Minuet is a model that is no longer made, but we have several 1/4 and 1/8 sized violins left. They are perfect for young beginners who are tentative about starting to play the violin, and for their parents who want to give them a chance to begin playing without spending too much money. The Minuet’s sweet and mellow tone projects spectacularly well for a beginner’s instrument, enabling beginner’s to perform solo competently at competitions and in small ensembles.
