Since its birth in 1976, its excellent design, beautiful sound, and artistic finish have influenced not only Japan but also the European and American markets, and have been supported by many musicians. ★DX-015 List Price: ¥400,000 In the fractional size lineup at the time, there were the ST series (ST-02, ST-03) and the S series (S-012) from the bottom, and the higher-end DX series (DX-014, DX-015), which were made by hand, with the DX-015 being the top model. It was the most expensive fractional violin ever sold by Pygmalius, and the fractional DX series was produced in small numbers for a short period of time, making it an extremely rare item. Speaking of Pygmalius, it is known that the top violinist Midori Gotō used a 1/2 size Pygmalius at the time (around 1982, age 10), and it is possible that she used the same DX-015. It has a neat and elegant wood grain, a vibrant, silky-textured orange varnish with a modern Italian finish, and is a Japanese-made violin made with attention to detail that is not achievable in this price range. It is a high-quality violin with a bright and cheerful tone, yet also warm. It is a wonderful instrument, so please do not miss this opportunity. It is also recommended for upgrading as you move up in size. Enjoy a beautiful violin like a new Italian one.
