RE: Violin, old vs new

Thanks for the info. Makes sense to me. The string thing is funny, as they must subsidize the fractional sized strings to make it affordable for the parents - going from the 3/4 size string to a 3" longer 4/4 string will literally double the cost. With the dollar so strong, top quality 4/4 string sets were costing $100 a pop - too much to replace every few months, which is all I was getting from some of the other brands. Worse than a tube-eating amplifier!

The Warchals have worked well for us on an extremely "picky" fiddle, and while overly bright for the first couple of weeks (when only played an hour a day), once settled in they sound amazing even 18 months later (of relatively light use).

Hearing a high-quality, well-played live violin in the house every day for over a decade sure helped to calibrate my ears.
