Customer Testimonials

I have purchased 3 violins from you in the last several weeks, and I am
well pleased with all of them. I especially like the Vecchio series 400, that was no. 5213. It is a copy of a French violin owned by a Russian Violinist, i understand. Anyway, I like the appearance; I like the tone, and I LOVE the varnish. It really looks like a Cremonese in color. I don’t know the name of the Maker; nor do I know the French Master that he copied. My guess is, that it may be a copy of a J. B. Vuillaume. Maybe you can “enlighten me, in both cases. I hope to buy more from you in the future. Thank you for providing these excellent instruments at an affordable price. C. R. Carrier

Thank you so very much, JP. The pernumbuco bow with abalone shell frog that you made for me was an absolute work of art. The craftsmanship was outstanding. The bow itself is something to marvel at.. as was your incredible service. I am most definitely looking forward to not only purchasing from you again in the future but recommending your company to my friends and associates. Thanks also to Ben, who pointed me in your direction.
It was an honor to work with you .. and I sincerely thank you.

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

I wanted to stop in once again, and thank you for the great service, and a great violin. I received a Wang Wenqing signature with the higher archings (which makes a HUGE difference in the volume), and the workmanship is nothing short of gorgeous — especially at such a low price point. Incredible value, and an incredible instrument.
For any future Jazz-Swing fiddlers, I highly recommend this model. Very easy to play, and the sound rivals many of the more “advanced, high-end” violins I’ve played (with prices easily in excess of $2000). …which begs the question…”Did I just get very lucky with a GREAT example of this luthier’s work?”
Only time will tell…….but I have a feeling you may be onto something with Wenqing. …and I have a feeling I may have just bought an early example of what’s to come for Ovistrings and their associates. Keep up the great work, and keep swingin’!!

I received your violin (Stainer 1668) very fast… :em69: it is really beautiful!! It looks even better than in these photos…tjhe sound is vibrant, mellow … with sweet tone . I am serioulsy thinking about playing the Beethoven violin concerto with it. it is sounding great, I am using eva pirazzi strings. The Violin festival is called “VIOLINISIMO 2007? and it will take place in Maracaibo City, Venezuela. If i like my own performance, then I will send you a little bit of the video ! So Wish me luck for the concert!!! I cant thank you enough!!!

I would like to thank you for the wonderful violin[ 5 Star Vecchio Workshop Copy of Strad Master Violin Red Varnish (420) ] The shipping was so fast.. I am really happy with my violin, it’s above my expectations! The sound is full and bright, just what I’ve been looking for. The varnish is also very well made. I like my new violin very much. However, it’s very sad that I have to paste the luthier’s name myself.. I mean I don’t know how to paste that inside the violin, lol. The case is also very nice.. about the cobra bow I really really like it, I’m glad I got it for free! and the pernambuco crafted silver bow is superb. I’m really satisfied right now.

I bought from “Old Violin House” under recommendation of my friend who had purchased an excellent violin from you. Mine is from Ning & Ivanov-as I have connections with Russia so I wanted one of these -it is a superb instrument in tone, sound and appearance! I can’t be any happier-except that I just ordered a 16.5? viola from the same maker-and when it arrives, I’ll even be happier yet. Can you tell me what Mr. Ivanov’s first name is and which city that he came from please?
Sincerely, Jon Miller
