FAQs
Does the Antoni ATS14 come ready to play?
Yes, it is a complete outfit including the violin, bow, rosin, and a protective case.
Is this violin suitable for young children?
The ATS14 is designed for students. Please verify the size requirements with your music teacher to ensure the 1/4 size (or appropriate model) matches the student's arm length.
How often should I apply rosin?
Apply a few strokes of rosin to your bow hair before every practice session, or whenever you notice the bow is sliding without producing clear sound.
Can I replace the strings on this violin?
Yes, the ATS14 uses standard violin strings that can be replaced as they wear out or break.
Is the carrying case protective enough for school?
Yes, the included case is designed to protect the instrument from minor impacts and environmental changes during transit.
Do I need to buy anything else to get started?
No, the outfit contains all essential components. A music stand or tuner may be helpful additions but are not required to play.
Troubleshooting
The violin does not hold its tune.
Ensure the pegs are pushed firmly into the pegbox while tuning. If the issue persists, ensure the bridge has not tilted forward.
The bow produces no sound.
Apply fresh rosin to the bow hair. New bows often require several passes of rosin to grip the strings effectively.
Strings are buzzing when played.
Check that the strings are correctly seated in the bridge and nut grooves, and ensure no loose parts are touching the body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Antoni ATS14, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Rosin Application: Gently rub the included rosin onto the bow hair before playing to ensure proper friction against the strings.
- Tuning: Tighten the pegs slowly and carefully. If pegs slip, push them slightly inward while turning.
- Storage: Always return the violin to its protective case when not in use to prevent damage and humidity-related warping.
- Cleaning: Wipe away excess rosin from the body and strings with a soft, dry cloth after every practice session.
- Maintenance: Check the bridge periodically to ensure it remains perpendicular to the violin top.
