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
Hallo Jehpin,
The 5-Star Professional violin I bought from you is now my favorite violin. When i got it new, the sound was very warm and soft, could be a little louder, but was already very good to play, easy and smooth. In the meantime it develops the sound becomes intense and is easy to modulate from fine soft to powerful and from warm to crystal clear. I put “Obligato” strings and an “Aubert” bridge on, witch i fit to the violin with a kitchen knife and some sandpaper. The strings support the wonderful tone and volume. Additional the violin is very beautiful and perfectly crafted. (besides the small scratches it had) The instrument is perfect for advanced players and orchestra music, especially house music, if that term exists. I am really happy with the instrument and it is worth every cent i payed for it.
Regards marty
