All who have played this violin have expressed appreciation for its excellent tonal properties and good workmanship. The choice of materials is excellent - from a lovely even-grained tone-spruce top to the beautifully flamed two-piece back, the wood shows discernment. It is in the attention to detail that the story is told - in the purfling, corners and crisp Fs one reads the intent of conforming to the traditions of good lutherie, transcending mere functionality and commercialism.

This violin was made in a reputable studio in China in 2015. The Chinese are today demonstrating why they are now leading the world in high quality trade instrument - a position previously occupied by Germany and France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but definitely now occupied by the more reputable studios in China. Workmanship and materials in contemporary Chinese lutherie rival, and in many ways have surpassed, the finest output of current European studios. It is a simple reality that almost all beginner and student instruments, irrespective of the label, are now manufactured in China, in many cases under the auspices of European and American Firms and labels.

As an advanced violin this instrument meets high expectations. It has the properties of instruments which would normally cost twice as much, yet remains within reach of most.
