The Oldenburg OL99VN12 is a 1/2-size student violin made for young musicians just beginning their studies. The fractional size keeps the instrument properly scaled to a smaller player — generally suited to children around 7 to 9 years old with roughly a 20-inch arm length, though that varies with each child's growth.

It's built on the traditional student violin foundation: a solid spruce top paired with maple back, sides, and neck. The fingerboard, pegs, and nut are ebony, and the composite tailpiece includes integrated fine tuners so small tuning corrections are easy for a beginner to make. D'Addario Prelude steel-core strings come installed from the factory for a durable, reliable setup.

This is a used instrument, Serial Number 126XX, constructed within the last ten years. It shows some minor wear on the body along with minor scratches and slight nicks to the top and bottom rim. The previous owner placed position tape on the ebony neck to help with learning, and we've left it on for the next young player. Our in-house technician has adjusted the violin for general playing conditions, and it comes with its original oblong case and bow.

Fractional-size violins are an important part of a developing student's progression, letting proper posture, hand position, fingering, and bow technique take hold before moving up to larger sizes and eventually a full 4/4. If you're looking for your child's first violin to get them into the school orchestra, this is a fantastic place to start.

Sized For Small Players

The 1/2-size body is scaled to a child who isn't ready for a full-size violin, typically around 7 to 9 years old with roughly a 20-inch arm length. Proper posture, hand position, fingering, and bow technique are far easier to establish on an instrument that actually fits.

Easy Tuning For Beginners

The composite tailpiece has integrated fine tuners, so small pitch corrections don't require fighting with the pegs. That makes daily tuning manageable for a student — or a parent.

Set Up And Ready To Learn

Our in-house technician has adjusted this violin for general playing conditions, and the previous owner's position tape has been left on the neck to help the next young player find their way. It arrives with its original oblong case and bow, so there's nothing else to buy before the first lesson.

Solid Spruce Top

The top is solid spruce, the traditional tonewood pairing found on student violins.

Maple Back, Sides, And Neck

Maple is used for the back, sides, and neck, completing the classic student violin tonewood combination.

Ebony Fittings

The fingerboard, pegs, and nut are all ebony for a durable, traditional feel under the fingers.

Integrated Fine Tuners

A composite tailpiece with built-in fine tuners lets beginners make precise tuning adjustments quickly.

D'Addario Prelude Strings

The violin is factory-equipped with D'Addario Prelude steel-core strings, a durable and reliable choice for students.

1/2-Size Configuration

The fractional 1/2 size is part of a student's normal progression toward larger fractional sizes and eventually a full 4/4 violin.
