Product Information

There may be two ways to read your question. Either you are considering buying a lark, or you have bought one.

So, I think what they are all trying to say somewhat gently is, the cost to do the set upthat you describe it needs, might be more than the instrument is worth at this point. That is of course looking at things from a monetary point of view. And don't get me wrong that's a valid way to look at things, but there are other ways........... First, make sure the pegs are perfectly cut the fittings are smooth and tight, otherwise you have to use four fine tuner to adjust the pitch. For handmade violins made by one maker, prices normally start at around RM 7,500. These instruments would suit advanced players who were looking to study music. Once a violinist enters the profession and needs a really good violin, the sky is the limit. Professional instruments start at around RM 10,000 and can go into the millions. How to Buy a Violin The truth is that you do not have to spend a fortune getting the best of the best, but going for the cheapest brand is also not necessarily a good idea either. A badly-made violin will never sound quite right, and this makes it a lot harder to master the skill.The term “lark violin” is not commonly recognized in the context of a specific type of violin. Violins vary in make, origin, and age, affecting their rarity and value. Antique violins made by renowned luthiers like Stradivarius or Guarneri are highly rare and valuable. Regional variations, unique characteristics, and historical significance also impact rarity. If “lark violin” refers to a particular brand, model, or custom violin, its rarity would depend on production numbers and market demand. It’s recommended to consult experts or search specific references for accurate information about the rarity of a violin referred to as a “lark violin.” How much is the price of the skylark violin?

The violin-making community in and around Beijing emanates from the work of master violin maker Zheng Quan, who has arguably done more than any other individual to promote and expand the development of fine violin making in China. In 1983, he became the first Chinese student to attend the prestigious Cremona International Violin Making School. After his training in Italy, he returned to China and founded the violin-making and research center at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing in 1988.Shanghai is considered the traditional birthplace of violin making in China and springs from the work of Shuzhen Tan, who, in 1927, became the first Chinese musician to join what is now the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. In 1947, Tan was appointed as a professor at the predecessor to the Shanghai Conservatory and established a violin-making program there in the 1950s, which began to offer a professional violin-makers program in 1978. BUT yours was made in the era when the Chinese were just starting to learn to make violins... while I hope it's better sounding than a Lark, a Skylark probably still will not be worth much.... just about the minimum price you would charge. Because it's a child-size, even at the lowest price, you may not get a buyer right away. And you definitely want to mention the size in the ad. Unlike many European countries, which have hundreds of years of violin-making history, China’s violin-making tradition is comparatively short. Interestingly, is in large part a legacy of Mao Zedong, who, although he banned Western classical music in China during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76), considered the violin to be a revolutionary instrument. It was included as a part of his theory that China needed both military and artistic strength to prosper. To further Mao’s theory, many new pieces of Chinese music were composed during this time and, although the traditional Peking Opera had been banned along with Western music, Mao’s wife Jiang Qing commissioned what are now often referred to as “model operas” or “revolutionary operas,” that used large, Western-style orchestras instead of smaller traditional Chinese ensembles. These new compositions and model operas were the exclusive form of musical and theatrical entertainment for the approximately 800 million people in China at that time.

The Skylarks are indeed different. They must be better, because they certainly couldn't be any worse. Since then, he has tirelessly promoted and expanded the development of violin making in China, trained countless Chinese makers, and won over 20 awards at international competitions. Zheng also served as the first judge from China at the VSA Competition in 2008, and founded the China International Violin and Bow Making Competition, which he has organized and served as jury chair for in all four competitions to date.This increased number of violinists created a corresponding surge in demand for violins in China, and state-owned factories that had previously produced items such as furniture and sewing machines were converted to make violins, almost exclusively for use in China.

Looking at pictures of Skylarks... even the ones with the same era cases (lining looks like the felt on a billiards table) the violins look a bit different than the Lark... possibly a different factory that did better work. They still seem to be using the name, so that's a good sign! The value of a Skylark violin is determined by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Understanding these elements is essential for accurately assessing the worth of such an instrument. 1.
