The Fiddlerman OB1 Violin Review
How does the Fiddlerman OB1 compare with the Fiddlerman Apprentice?
Description
The Fiddlerman Orchestra Beginner-1 (or OB1) is one of our top recommendations for beginners on a budget. It is well crafted from aged tonewoods, finished with a beautiful dark brown varnish, set up here in our shop to perfection.
It delivers a surprisingly good sound for an instrument at this price.
