• PLAYTECH Releases Three New Acoustic Violin Models!

  

  2025/12/16

  PLAYTECH delivers reliable quality at an affordable yet high-quality price—introducing our new premium acoustic violins!
  
  The “PVN644” is a genuine varnish-finished violin, distinguished by its rich, nuanced brown tone. We have meticulously pursued texture and feel in every detail.
  The “PVN744A Advanced Model” is a mid-grade violin designed to meet a wide range of needs, featuring a bright yellow varnish finish. We aimed for a level of quality that satisfies not only beginners but also intermediate and advanced players.
  The “PVN744E European Model” is a violin with an old-style finish made using European wood, characterized by rich color variations and an antique patina that evokes the look of years of aging. This violin is recommended for players who love old violins and antiques.
