This listing is about the MV5700 Lefthanded series. The violins are mainly after Strad 1715 and Guarneri 1742. They are half oil, half spirit varnished. The tone is powerful and balanced for advanced and professional players.

A left handed violin is a mirror copy of a right handed violin. Our left handed violin is designed and built so from the beginning. The bass bar is placed under the right leg of the bridge. The sound post is placed under the left leg of the bridge. The strings, from the right to left, will be G-D-A-E. Consequently, the position of the peg holes needs to be modified to meet the new order of the strings. The shape of the bridge needs to be adjusted, too. The chin rest for a left handed violin is an image in the mirror of the chin rest for a right handed violin and it is carved to hold the right side of the chin. Left handed violin chin rests are extremely hard to find and rarely sold individually or separately.
