Rudoulf Doetsch instruments are hand crafted by our master luthiers and are hailed by teachers and performers as some of America's best German tonewood instruments. They feature a highly select spruce top with maple back, sides and scrolls, and a hand applied antique-style, multi-layer spirit varnish. The result is a violin that is professional in both appearance and sound. This electrified version of the traditional 701 offers the same rich sound with performance capabilities of electric acoustic amplification
