Description

The Bunnel Premier is an upgrade from our Bunnel Pupil. The Premier is an excellent choice for a beginning student. It features an upgraded quality of wood, providing a richer, warmer sound. Natural Oil Finish The oil finish is a unique feature usually seen on more expensive violins. Student-level string instruments sold by other retailers at this cost are typically coated with a thick, glossy lacquer finish that hinders quality tone production. The Ricard Bunnel has an authentic, hand-rubbed oil finish. It not only looks more professional, but remains true to historical, tried-and-true standards of hand-crafted violin making. The construction, finish, fittings, and design of the Ricard Bunnel Premier give this instrument a warmer and more projective sound than other similarly priced instruments from other makers. FREE expert setup by our staff of professional luthiers is included with your purchase to meet or exceed all MENC specifications and standard measurements. At Kennedy Violins, the luthier staff ensures that each violin is individually setup, tuned, and inspected to our highest standards. Your violin will be ready to fine-tune and play when you receive it—not sent to you unstrung or in pieces as sold by other online retailers. When our luthiers set up your instrument they will: Finish and test the fingerboard.Adjust bridge radius, belly, string spacing and fit to top. Shape the nut and ensure correct string spacing and action.Ensure correct peg fit and function.Adjust and secure the tailpiece.Secure the chin rest. Polish the finish. See what sets our Violin Outfits apart! VIOLIN FEATURES Four professional grade built-in fine tuners on a composite tailpiece.Naturally dried maple and tight-grained spruce from the Himalayas. Handmade construction. Inlaid purfling. GIULIANI BOW FEATURES Strong round bow shaft of genuine Brazilwood. Genuine Mongolian horse hair .Half-mounted 100% ebony frog for great balance and durability with mother of pearl inlay, and abalone bow slide. Silver winding. Precisely weighed for excellent balance and responsiveness. Black leather grip. CASE FEATURES Two satin-lined rotating bow holders Strong velcro straps to secure the violin. Hygrometer for humidity measurement. Double sets of durable YKK Zippers. Plush velour interior and a lined protective blanket to cover the violin.

  • VERY happy with purchase!
After countless hours of research, finally my hard work paid off! First, I shopped locally only to find very cheap violins that were very expensive. One shop even wanted to sell me an old rental for the same price I paid here and it didn't even have strings on it. I am extremely happy I bought from Kennedy Violins. I purchased the RICHARD BUNNEL G1 VIOLIN OUTFIT SIZE 3/4. Gorgeous instrument, sounds amazing, as promised came with lots of extras, chin guard tuner, books etc. The case is wow too! I will defiantly be back when my son graduates to the full size. I originally was going to buy on the of $250 Kennedy Violins but I am so glad I spent the extra $100 and bought the G1. It is a hand oiled finish, gorgeous! Oh and our teacher was shocked we found such a beautiful instrument on line. He was impressed too. ... show more

  • DAMN! A Bargain! Do this one.. wow
Okay, so the truth is I know very little about violins.. but to see the beauty of this one, the quality and craftsmanship. WOW a whole lot of bang for the buck! Half the price of the rental I was going to buy. Sounds better, looks better. I highly recommend this one. Spare strings and shoulder rest.. My oldest boy is scratchin out some sounds.. inspired him to play and learn something other then videogames. Tickled pink about the value I find in this one... ... show more

  • Great student violin
My son has been playing violin for three years and I realized that while he is going up in size, I was spending far too much money renting his violin. I did some research online and found this. I was nervous because his teacher is very picky about violins being a certain way and sounding a certain way. She said this was a great student violin. I am glad. She looked over the whole violin and had a few small complaints, but nothing major. I am saving money and have a younger son who hopefully will use this one when my older son outgrows this too and needs to go up a size. It sounds good. He's been using it for a few weeks now and we don't have complaints. It came with so much too! I am glad that I just signed up for the lifetime warranty too. Nice! ... show more

  • Well made, great sound and case, prompt service, cud give more than 5 stars!!
Size: FULL SIZE
They are very reliable makers I can say that by their beautiful product. A lot of care has gone into making it perfect with the velvet lined box and the great violin, i am a beginner at it and i started using the bow as soon as i got my hands onto it and the sound was deep and not at all scratchy even for a beginner like me. I mailed them that they had missed the rosin and the wiping cloth and there was an instant response from the company that they would replace it. I had checked the boxes that had arrived and could not find the rosin. However, the next day i found the rosin in a receptacle inside the violin case that had a small flap to pull. I informed the maker that i had found it but he said that i could keep the rosin as an extra cos it had already been sent out. So the service has been very prompt and they have been kind in their responses. So i would suggest that you check the receptacle inside the case and not just the accessory box for all the things they pack away with it. I had read of rosins missing in their previous reviews, so i guess that also added to my bias and subsequent overlooking of the receptacle. Hope you find ur rosin :) I am very happy with my purchase , their craftsmanship and services. ... show more

  • Great Violin for Beginner
Size: FULL SIZE
I’m extremely happy with this purchase. I’m an adult beginner to violin, doing a mix of self teaching books, YouTube lessons, and the aid of an Online instructor. I just want to learn to play the violin for myself; always wanted to learn, no budding virtuoso or anything here. I had previously bought a very cheap violin bundle, and now that I’ve decided to continue learning, I realized I needed something a bit better than the tinny sounding violin I had. I wish I had started with this violin! It is easy to work with, stays in tune, and sounds great!! I think this will do me just fine for a few years as I progress. This is a great violin for the first few years for a beginner! ... show more

This instrument has beautiful craftsmanship. The stain color is warm and glossy! Honestly I bought it for vanity. I just think that violins are such beautiful classic instruments. Even the case was exquisite.I would highly recommend you. I only had one thing I didn't understand...Why did my Bunnel Premier Violin come in a Kennedy violins box?! ... show more

  • Everything you need in one package
Size: 1/4-size
This was really nice, but, alas, my child did not take to the lessons. I put it back in case she wants to try again in a couple years. It should fit her still, as she is small. The only thing is it was supposed to come with a free online lesson, but the company never answered my email to schedule it. ... show more

  • Beautiful!
I purchased this violin for a little girl who is in a "Little Mariachi" band! She had been sawing away on a used school violin that had no chin cup, and was still making music with it! Now she is really playing well and loving her new violin!
