String Instruments
Elcoda offers violins, violas, cellos and double basses for beginners, music school students, advanced students and professional musicians.
The range includes instruments in different sizes and levels, from student instruments to professional models. Matching strings, bows, cases, chinrests, shoulder rests and other specialised accessories can also be selected.
Violins
Elcoda offers violins for children, students and adult musicians.
Important factors when choosing a violin include instrument size, the player's level, workmanship and the teacher's requirements. Correct sizing is particularly important for children, as an instrument that is too large can make correct posture and technique more difficult.
For more experienced players, tonal character, response, balance, material quality and individual performance requirements become increasingly important.
Violas
Choosing a viola differs in several respects from choosing a violin. In addition to the level of the instrument, body size, scale length and comfort for the individual player are especially important.
The range includes violas in different sizes for students and professional players. Finding the right balance between instrument size, playing comfort and the desired tonal character is particularly important for violists.
Cellos
Elcoda offers cellos in different sizes for beginners, students, advanced players and professional musicians.
Cello size is selected primarily according to the age, height and physical proportions of the player. For more experienced musicians, construction, materials, workmanship, response and tonal character also become important selection criteria.
Double Basses
Choosing a double bass requires particular attention because of the size of the instrument and the differences between individual constructions.
Important factors include instrument size and scale length, construction, intended style of playing and the physical requirements of the musician. A student, orchestral player and professional performer may have very different requirements.
Elcoda offers instruments at different levels and can help check the availability of a required size or model from the manufacturer.
How to Choose a String Instrument
For a beginner, the most important factors are usually the correct instrument size and the teacher's requirements. More experienced players need to consider workmanship, materials, construction, balance, response and individual tonal requirements.
When purchasing an instrument remotely, it is particularly important to determine the correct size and clarify the requirements of the musician or teacher in advance.
If the required model or size is not currently in stock, Elcoda can help check ordering options with the manufacturer.
Strings, Bows, Cases and Accessories
A violin, viola, cello or double bass can be complemented with strings, bows, instrument cases and specialised accessories for bowed string instruments from the Elcoda range.
When selecting accessories, the instrument type, size, construction and the individual requirements of the musician should also be considered.
