VA developed their range wanting to have models with contrasting sound profiles and variance. One of the ranges the team at Nanjing produced is the Schroeder model, named after the German-American Cellist Alwin Schroeder. The models are bright and clear sounding with golden varnishes to emphasize the brilliance of the sound. These instruments are beautifully hand crafted in China and professionally set up by our luthiers in our Sydney workshop. The Schroeder 500 is the most superior Schroeder in our intermediate range and has a sweet, bright tone with good projection. It is favoured by intermediate players doing more solo performing. In comparing it to our other Schroder models, the 500 has a more focused sound, with more richness and tonal complexity and this is due to the use of higher quality wood and workmanship. In terms of AMEB or Trinity levels we believe it is most suitable for advancing players at a 4th to 6th grade standard. The Schroeder 500 has a lightly antiqued gold-brown varnish, inlaid purfling, ebony pegs, nut and fingerboard and a tailpiece with in-built fine tune adjusters. It is fitted with Larsen Il Cannone strings which add more clarity and brilliance to the sound. If Larsen Il Cannone strings aren't in-stock, then a similar alternative such as Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings will be used.Instrument Details: + Spruce top+ Maple back, sides and scroll+ Ebony nut, fingerboard and pegs+ Inlaid purfling+ Tailpiece with in-built fine tune adjusters+ Larsen Il Cannone Strings (or suitable alternative)+ Available sizes: 3/4, 4/4
