The AVA Royale is a beautiful violin with a rich tone and the classic ergonomics honed over centuries. Yet it also offers a subtly improved design, tuning stability, and lightweight frame, thanks to application of the highest engineering standards. The single piece body, built of carbon fiber, offers a magnificent sound without using rare and endangered wood. The result is a purely acoustic violin that is worthy of the hallowed tradition of this instrument, and of being played in the best concert halls of the world.
