Scherl & Roth SR41 Arietta

About the Scherl & Roth SR41 Arietta

The SR41 uses a solid spruce top with maple back and sides and hand-inlaid purfling, finished in a hybrid lacquer/spirit-varnish combination intended to combine lacquer's durability with varnish's tonal openness rather than choosing one exclusively. Scherl & Roth states each instrument undergoes individual hand adjustment at its own shop rather than shipping factory-direct, addressing the setup-quality concerns common with imported student violins.

The fingerboard and pegs are ebony, paired with a select French maple bridge and a composite tailpiece strung with D'Addario Prelude strings. Notably, the outfit includes a carbon fiber bow rather than the wood bow typical at this price point - carbon fiber resists warping and temperature/humidity changes better than wood, a durability-focused choice for a student instrument likely to see rough handling. It ships in an oblong thermoplastic case across sizes from 1/8 to 4/4.
