No. 6/0 SE Orch. Violin 4/4 : Very good for a moderate price

? Summary: a good intermediate violin: fits exactly my needs and price possibilities.

? Pro: easy to use:

o Easy to tune, using the pegs as well as the fine tuners (this is truly critical)

o Just right string pressure on left hand (for me at least)

o Feels good in my hands

o Good response

? Cons:

o Sound is not as crisp as I like

o Does not come with Dominant strings as indicated originally. Strings are good though.

For a student at a certain point a beginner violin will limit your capability of progression (this may be true for the bow as well, and you may consider different strings and rosin. Anyhow I needed to get a new violin in the range of some 750-800¤.

My main goal was thus to get a violin on which I could develop e.g. vibrato and staccato. Of course more expensive violin would allow this, but on this violin I feel good.
