Lefty Violins from the Workshop of Xuechang Sun

Back to Sun Violins Main Page

Fiddleheads carries rare left-handed violins from the workshop of award-winning maker Xue Chang Sun, one of the finest stringed instrument makers in China. 

The VN-100 Violin in left-handed [stock photo]

Fiddleheads carries the VN-100 and VN-102 in a Left-handed model!

The VN-100, as described here and in customer testimonials, is now available to our customers in a rare true left-handed model.

What's the difference between a true left-handed violin and one strung backwards? The inner workings of a violin, like the bass bar, soundpost and the way in which the plates are carved, are what support the various frequencies and give a violin the best tone.

So a violin with the strings reversed without being MADE to play left-handed is like rewiring your stereo to put low frequencies through the tweeters and the high end through bass woofers. The sound is no good, not to mention the right-handed angle of the neck makes playing more difficult.

These true left-handed violins are just like the regular VN-100 and VN-102 violins, but made from scratch specifically for left-handed players. Reversed bass bar and soundpost, reversed chin rest, reversed strings/pegs/bridge and neck angle all make for a custom instrument without a custom price tag.

We guarantee this instrument's tone will improve significantly as played over the next year or your money back. More details
