You're totally not gonna believe me. AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ready for this?
I bought my violin. (rather, my absolutely wonderful, incredible, amazingly generous parents bought it for me. :-)
Ummmmm....!!!!!!!!!!!!! No way!
Ummmmm....!!!!!!!!!!!!! No way!
I spent two hours this morning playing ten different violins at House of Note and deciding which one I liked best. Playing multiple songs over and over on different instruments, paying painful amounts of attention to the sound, the tone, the ringing.
I spent another hour, fishing through at least fifteen bows, using them - noting the tone, the stroke, the feel - carefully eliminating them one by one until I found the one that was perfect.
And oh my word. The. violin. is. beautiful. The tone is stunning. The strings are amazingly easy to stroke and surprisingly smooth, much more so then my old violin - it makes vibrato a breeze, whereas on my previous instrument, I struggled quite a bit.
It seems like I've been playing it ever since I got home from the shop!
Just look at this stunna. And believe me, it plays more beautiful than it looks!
Ahhhh. Doesn't it just take your breath away?

Okay, NOW I'M jealous! <:D
Now the questions.. :)
Where was it made? Austria? Korea?
What brand?
It is very pretty. Do you still use tapes on the finger board to help you out?
What genre of music do you most enjoy playing?
I have a violin in a magazine{Shar Music} picked out - sort of. Except it's nine-thousand dollars. *gag!*
Well, someday, right? :P
Happy fiddling to ya!

Positively beautiful violin! An attractive instrument is always nice. :)
How exciting!!! I love those pictures! Have fun playing...you'll have to post a video on here!
I love the violin! My sister plays and I've taught myself some. I'll be learning the Cello this summer. Love string instruments!
That's beautiful and I don't even plan an instrument (I am horrible with instruments, I have attempted but it's just not my thing...) The pictures that you posted are beautiful! I am sure it is even more beautiful in person!
Blessings,

I am a violinist too and can totally relate to your thrill! Last year, we got my great-grandpa's antique violin restored to a playable state, and I was was just ecstatic to get a new 'old' violin. Nice blog, I am clicking "follow" after I click "comment"!
