The Capriccio Violin is handmade from selected spruce timber for the top of the instrument, and, slightly flamed maple for the back and sides. It is fitted with genuine ebony fingerboard and pegs. Traditionally hand-varnished timbers and fine workmanship with a wonderfully attractive and warm sound. The strings have been upgraded to our Maestro strings. It comes with a case, good bow and rosin.
What the Arco and Capriccio have in common:
Both Arco and Capriccio are hand-carved, have ebony fittings and are set up by our in-house luthiers.
What's different:
The Capriccio is hand-varnished whereas the varnish of the Arco is sprayed onto the hand-carved carved instrument. Hand-varnishing takes weeks whereas the spraying is done quickly.
The Capriccio is fitted with upgraded strings, the "Maestro Strings". The colour of the varnish of the Capriccio is hand-brushed with golden to medium-brown shades and with an attractive shine to the varnish, whereas the varnish of the Arco is darker.
Included in the Capriccio are:
* Upgraded Strings
* Case
* Good Bow
* German Rosin
Setup & Warranty:
The instrument has been professionally set up by Animato Strings and enjoys a full year warranty.

Just want to thank you so much for the prompt delivery of my daughter's violin. It truly is a beautiful instrument. Emma cannot wipe the smile off her face.
I would also like to say that the finish on the violin is truly beautiful. We had a "wow" moment when Emma lifted it out of the case and looked over the violin. We had a look at many other violins for her but looking at Animato Strings we knew we were in good hands.Once again - thank you.
PS will definitely be purchasing from Animato Strings agsin in the future.

We have just purchased our second violin from Animato Strings and couldn't be happier. My 8 year old grew out of his 1/4 size Arco violin (also a lovely first violin) and we upgraded to a 1/2 size Capriccio. His teacher has just tuned him up and is very impressed. It makes a beautiful resonant sound. We also put on Pirastro Tonica strings as he plays in an ensemble group.
Dietrich was extremely helpful over the phone and has chosen a lovely instrument for us. Postage up to Darwin also went without a hitch. We will be buying from Animato strings again when we need a 3/4 size!

Just bought our 4th Violin from Aminato. Got to trade in old violin to save on the new one. Dietrich provided great service taking time to select the right 3/4 Capriccio for our son. Highly recommend Aminato.

Thank you very much for your kind assistance last Sunday. Thank you for opening your store to us that day and for helping us with choosing the new violin for my daughter. We appreciate the care and consideration you take with making sure the instrument is correct for the person, especially a young student who will then be encouraged to continue their musical studies. We look forward to visiting Brisbane and your store again in the future to get her next violin.

Thanks for turning our purchase of the viola and the violin for my twin girls a wonderful experience. Your patience and passion to ensure that we were fully satisfied with the quality of sound will always make me come back to your shop again. Your attention to detail and guidance in selecting the right instrument has been invaluable. The girls' music teachers are very pleased with the quality. And to complement all this, you offered us a great price!
