Violin - Gama 2
Typically sold to adult improvers, folk fiddlers, teachers, freelance professionals as a backup instrument, young players of Grade 5 up to Grade 8. I will not make silly claims and describe this instrument as suitable for first instrument study at a conservatoire but I do say confidently that it will be entirely adequate for Grade 8 study and probably DipABRSM (especially the violas and cellos).
Default set up now includes a Wittner type tailpiece with built in adjusters. If you prefer any other, let me know. The violin will be taken to my luthier for adjustment as necessary.
Available in antiqued or normal finish. Normal finish is shown; antiqued is usually a little more reddish in colour.
This violin is described by Gliga as the professional model. It is made in a different building, and by a more skilled group of craftsmen, than the Gems instruments. It is well flamed.
As with all violins of this quality level, the price is for the violin only. If you are a good enough player to need a Gama, you will probably have your own ideas. Or check out the suggested packages.
The picture shows a typical Gama but every one is an individual.
Here you can hear a 3/4 size Gama which has been well played in - the player (Grade 7 standard) is in one of the National Children's Orchestras.

and here is a full size one, straight out of the box and with Dominant strings fitted immediately before recording. A professional player, however.
