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
Well, I only can say this is an icredible bow , it has beautiful pernambuco stick n silver finishes :em32: .Its very heavy, extremly good balanced :em02: n easy to command.
I play this bow on a violin and it helps to produce a robust, clear, free tone :em11: ,something that I cant get with a very light bow, because I have to press much more to get the same volume but with out the clear,free tone; that I think :em14: it is the most important thing.
I recommend the 60-70g bows from my friend Jehpin
