I was very pleased to receive the Vecchio 5 string violin #6795 you sent. It is a very beautiful instrument. Its craftsmanship is exquisite. At first the sound quality was lacking (it sounded flat even when it was tuned correctly the notes just sounded off; however, once I replaced the strings to Helicores it really opened the instrument up). I have another viola that is 16.5 and the Vecchio is able to project just as loud. I am blown away by this because it is the size of a violin with the heart of a big viola. The Vecchio is a wonderfully made instrument. For those that want both a violin and a viola you can’t beat it.
I showed it to a local violin maker hear in the USA and he was blown away by it. He says it reminds him of the finest made Czechoslovakian violins. He was very impressed with the fine craftsmanship and blown away by the sound.
Thanks again for sending me the Vecchio 5 string violin #6795. I am very happy with it
Sincerely
Is this model still available? Can you give me a complete price list of your violins? Some of my friends are interested to buy from you and they would like to get an estimate.
Hello Jephin,
I really want to say that I have not seen a violin up till now, for this low price, that has the potentials of a profi violin. The sound is incredible for a new violin. I enjoy playing on it, sorry my English is not perfect, but to me this violin almost is! I have put Pirastro Tonica strings on it and on the G-string one Obligato. It makes this violin sound very deep and mellow!
well, just one last remark: the fingerboard and pegs are not ebony, but boxwood. I do prefer ebony.
