Unlike many instruments in this price range, all Jay Haide instruments are hand-made of quality seasoned maple and spruce and have a tone quality and workmanship normally found in those costing much more. Violins, violas, and cellos are available in four models. Model 101 is an excellent choice for beginning or intermediate players. The lancienne, Model 201, and Model 104 are made by more senior violin makers with finer quality aged wood for musicians requiring the best tone quality. The new Jay Haide lancienne violins, violas, cellos, and basses are brought to you after years of development. The varnish is a new formulation, carefully applied and beautifully antiqued giving each instrument the patina of age, so desired by both musicians and connoisseurs. And, they are as beautiful tonally as they are visually. The Jay Haide lancienne has been designed for the advanced student and professional who needs an instrument that will complement and enhance their artistic style. The back in two matching pieces of maple of strong medium curl ascending across the back from the centre joint, the ribs, pegbox, and scroll similar. The front in two matching pieces of spruce of medium grain. The antiqued varnish of a rich orange-brown colour on an amber ground.
