The Sander (or Sandner) Model 300 is a popular German-designed student violin, often sold as an outfit, featuring solid carved spruce top, maple back/sides, ebony fingerboard/pegs, and integrated tailpiece adjusters, known for its good tone and value for beginners/intermediate players, available in 3/4 size for younger students (ages 9-12).
Solid carved spruce top, solid maple back and ribs, hand-finished.
Fittings: Ebony fingerboard, pegs, and chinrest for durability and playability.
A complete outfit with a Brazilwood bow and shaped case (backpack style). The case is a bit worn and has small stains. Normal wear and tear for kids.
Designed to offer a pleasing, warm tone and good playability, using aged woods for better sound.
Excellent choice for beginners and intermediate students, widely recommended by schools and teachers.
The Sandner 300 is a well-regarded student instrument, offering quality materials (like ebony and solid woods) and professional setup in a bundle, making it a reliable and valuable option for young musicians learning the violin.
A 3/4 size violin is generally for kids aged 9 to 12, or when their arm length is around 21.5 to 23 inches (55-58.5 cm), marking the step before a full-size (4/4) violin for older children or adults. Your arm length is measured from the neck to the wrist with your arm stretched out in front. It's the common size for elementary/middle schoolers. Using the correct size prevents strain and allows for proper technique development. A 3/4 size offers a fuller sound than smaller sizes but is still manageable for growing musicians.
My kid used the violin in elementary school and has outgrown it.
