Had no idea violins were made so small. I have my mother's violin, and I now have hope that one of my great-nieces or nephews might learn to play the violin and eventually inherit her instrument - a vintage Strad copy.
Teton Music
Wow! That's a neat thing to have in the family.

Thanks for the tips, really good information. I already inherited my dad's violin, it works well for me.
Teton Music
Great! It's so nice when there's already an instrument in the family that you can use. I'm sure your dad's violin has a story of its own. :-) Happy playing!

Teton Music
Sorry, I just had this come up on my comments. I'm not sure why it took so long. I hope your concern was resolved with not having a picture along with the "How to Choose a Violin" tutorial.
