Hi Jehpin,

I recieved the viola today. The look is good. It sounds great. What I really love is the bow. Its beautiful and plays wonderfully. In the next couple of weeks, I may be placing an order for bows, because I have several students that could use good bows like these. I Just have to discuss that with the students parents.

Have you considered making the Vecchio or Balokovic in a viola?? I would purchase that one too if one were to be made

Thank you !!

Jehpin,

The violin came earlier this week and I’ve finally had time to play it — the verdict is that I am very pleased with it. I initially thought that I would keep it either way because you went through so much to make this happen….so I was prepared to accept it irregardless of how I liked it….but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I like this violin better than any I am currently using…and up to now my main violin has been an Italian one from the ’60’s by a well known maker. But for now I’m interested in really digging into yours to bring out all that it has. Also, it came with the sound post intact and the extra wrapping with the material you used kept everything secure.
