Garibaldi
Instrument
If you really want to improve your playing or are just starting out this is the right instrument for you. Because of it's great set up and good sound quality it makes playing easier and more enjoyable.
This is the best value instrument I have come across below AU$1000... and I have tested a lot of instruments. The Garibaldi has been individually handcrafted in China by European trained violinmakers and set up to professional standard by Olaf Grawert in Australia.
I believe that the Garibaldi is such good value and quality that we have a no questions asked 30 day satisfaction guarantee. That really does mean, if you are not happy with it for any reason, just send it back.

Plane the Fingerboard to a professional standard. This means that you will have a fingerboard that has the same shape as that of most instruments that you will hear in concert halls around the world
I will fit a professional quality French bridge crafted by a master violin maker with specialized acoustic knowledge to make the instrument sound the best that it can.
Fit a professional quality soundpost to really bring out the rich tonal qualities. There is a reason that in many languages the soundpost is called the “Soul”. It takes a master to fit and move the soundpost into the right position to really make the instrument sing.
I always fit the Instruments with great quality strings for that rich sound.
Each peg is carefully refitted to make sure that if is very easy to tune the instrument using the pegs.
The tailpiece is checked and refitted to make sure it is in the best acoustical position
I check and recheck the string height and spacing to make sure it is absolutely perfect. It is only easy to play the violin when the string height is absolutely right.
I always play
each instrument and adjust it until I’m so happy with it that I want to keep
the violin myself. I always try out the instruments far too long, because
they are so much fun to play. This way you can be sure that when your
instrument leaves my workshop, everything about it is perfect.
