It is a beautiful violin! The response was too edgy with Dominants, so I restrung it with Eudoxas. The G and D are much much better now. The A and E are a bit too bright so I'm going to try a few different combinations. I played briefly in a concert hall and found the tone very strong and well projecting. Truly amazing for the purchase price. I'm very interested in purchasing a Maestro level viola or violin early next year. Regards, Dan
