    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.

    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!

    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.
