The YVN100S features a design based on that of Stradivari, and it shares the specifications of the YVN200S. The tone is lively and brilliant, but tempered with enough warmth to sound full and expressive. And the quick and sensitive response enables players to express their most subtle musical nuances. The 100 Series violins were designed to offer quality as close as possible to the 200 Series, yet at prices appealing to the budget conscious.
