A fine antiqued oil varnished violin by luthier "Daniel Cloutier" of Hellweg & Cloutier, dated from 2020. It has a unique Rippleboard label as it was the first instrument of the series.

The instrument is outfitted with a Rippleboard fingerboard that relieves hand stress and helps you play in tune with much less effort! The Rippleboard also helps in training your hand to play correct. Unlike a fretboard that can alter your finger positioning, a Rippleboard fingerboard doesn't affect your ability to play on violins with old classic fingerboards, it will dramatically improve it as well!

The "Heart" Style pegs and "Lady Blunt" model tailpiece are made from centuries old Mountain Mahogany, the pinnacle of instrument fitting wood.
