Ok, these reviews just make me want to buy another violin.  For some reason mine doesn't sound that nice.   Hmmmmm, might be the the musician..  Naaa, it has to be the violin.  That's what i'm telling my wife.

I'm sure we could get FM to write you a note for your wife. LOL

I'll even write you a note too. Everyone should have more than one violin. What would you practice on if something happened to thee primary instrument? What if you broke a string? Good to have a back up violin!

Where should we send that note?coffee1

Looks great and sounds good, and I am sure it will only improve as you work on it, cdennyb.  Love the look of those boxwood fittings as well!

Wow.. Denny… it is wonderful. How beautiful. Thanks for the close up shots. You must be so thrilled. How thrilling that you can make the instrument play the way that you like. Something tells me this instrument will be near and dear to you for a long long time. Enjoy! Your playing is lovely. Just lovely, great bow strokes. I like the way you play. It is unique to you. Beautiful job. Great Review. Great Post.

Here is a vid of the actual music.  It is called Sad Romance, but youtube has a lot of "Sad Violin" lables.  Either way, enjoy:

Trying hard to figure out on whom to blame my Kohr 500 obsession!!! Denny… Fiddlerman…or am I just a greedy person? …. maybe I can blame this group of members (aka enablers)… ha ha ha I certainly can't blame it on the fact that I have "outgrown" my violin…right? ha ha… just at work…facing a manic Monday with my head in the clouds for another violin…. ha ha…

OK, finally the cat is out of the bag.

Great job Dennis,

Loved the clear, sharp pictures and your demo. Your wife is really going to freak out when she finds out that you can play :-)
You've come a long way.

Just want to clarify one detail for everyone. Dennis first ordered a CVN-500 that I tested for him. One week for the instrument to get to me and I tested it same day, then I shipped it back to Cecilio because we were not satisfied with the sound. I then suggested we try the K500 which usually takes 1 week to set up but took a little over 2, (possibly because I didn't tell them that it was a priority, LOL). The Kohr instruments only get set up after they are ordered which is better in a way because they don't sit in boxes with strings getting old and so forth. The K500 was shipped to me which takes about a week, and I didn't review it until almost a week had gone by because I was busy :-(
I then shipped the violin to Dennis, economy and that cost him a week as well.
Most instuments are shipped the same day or day after and received on an average of one week after ordering depending on where you live. The Kohr instruments take a maximum of 3 weeks if HC is busy and needs 2 weeks to set up. Sometimes I can push them to do it right away and have it shipped within a week :-)

Sounds great Dennis. She's a beauty of a violin. For sure It's about time I better start posting videos again too as it's been way too long but I'm practicing!

Dionysia, I think FM meant HQ as in Headquarters I think?
