WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT

 The Ricard Bunnel G2 is a perfect example of what Kennedy Violins represents, both craftsmanship and sound wise. Kennedy student violins are constructed to be of a certain standard, and are made of top-quality materials, making them the ideal practice companions. Cons: - May seem heavy for some

Not only is it affordable but is crafted in a way to allow high-quality, professional sound to come through with practice. Thanks to Aileen listening and applying customer feedback, they have managed to make increasingly better instruments over the years. They are constantly updating their violin arsenal, and the Aileen Solid wood student violin starter kit is one of the public’s favorites. Cons: - May sound too flat for some
