I was looking online for violins for sale and found a very nice stringed instrument shop. I knew I could not afford a Stradivarius, but I also did not want a student violin. I have been playing for years and would like a new violin to take with me as I travel and play. I am a musician for hire and have sat in with I do not know how many groups over the years. I have played everything from classical to bluegrass to rock on a violin. This shop had what I was looking for. I no longer wanted to be traveling with my grandfather’s violin. It is worth a decent amount of money and it is irreplaceable. This shop had the violin I was looking to buy at a very good price. I know I have them bookmarked for future instrument purchases for myself and my children. My wife plays the cello and hers has a damaged back. We are saving up to get her a new one.
