For the full-size player, the VL701 Rudoulf Doetsch is a professionally positioned violin outfit handmade by master luthiers. It combines a highly select carved German spruce top with a plate-tuned carved German maple back and matching maple sides. The hand-applied antique-style multi-layer spirit varnish is intended to complement the wood’s appearance and ringing sound quality. Ebony fittings and fingerboard, a Despiau 2 Tree bridge, and the 4/4 string and bow specifications complete the setup.
