What was once renowned as the best student-level violin, the Orion OVL60, has now been surpassed by the new Adagio II series violins – an even better option!
The newly released 2025 Adagio II violins showcase high-quality tonewoods and a significant upgrade: all ebony fittings, including pegs, fingerboard, and endpin button.
We remain committed to our mission of providing top-quality instruments. These violins are perfect for beginner violinists, offering the ideal starting point for their musical journey at an affordable price.
Who is this violin for?
The Adagio II violin is ideal for players up to AMEB Grade 3 level. If you are not aiming for exams and simply want a dependable violin to enjoy playing, the Adagio II ticks all the boxes - reliable, easy to play, and built to perform without ongoing issues.
Why are the Adagio II violins suitable for beginners?
A key feature of our Orion brand remains unchanged: every violin is hand-set up in our WA workshop for tight quality control. This includes precision adjustments to the bridge carving, soundpost positioning, and nut height. Additionally, we replace the standard strings with a premium set of Pirastro Tonica or Armonico Vento (subject to stock availability) synthetic core strings, delivering a warm, rich tone.
Our luthiers and apprentices quality check and ensure every violin is expertly prepared so that every player has an equal opportunity to enjoy a well-made instrument. With the Adagio II violins, we’ve maintained the same price as the previous OVL60 model, despite the numerous upgrades.
The term "outfit" means this violin comes complete with a case and bow. It includes an oblong (rectangular) case with plenty of pocket space and a wooden bow with an ebony frog.
Available in full 4/4 size, as well as fractional sizes: 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, and 1/16.
