Did you know that we stock a range of violins here at GigGear?

Various styles, sizes and price ranges are catered for, but what exactly do you get when you purchase one of our violin outfits?

Well, the clue's in the word 'outfit'. We make sure you're fully set up and ready to play when you buy a violin from us. Included with every one of our violin packages is the following:

* A violin - 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 4/4 sizes available.
* A carry case - usually featuring a shoulder strap, external and
internal pockets and a protector cloth.
* A bow of the correct size for your violin
* Rosin - to make sure the bow 'grips' the violin strings to give the
right sound.

Have a look at our full range below to find the right violin for you:
