Cecilio offers two higher priced quality violins called the CVN-600 and CVN-700. The CVN600 goes for $399 whereas the CVN700 costs $499. I find both instruments well worth the price. This CVN700 has a sweeter sound and quicker reaction time to quick notes. Both fiddles can be played extremely high without any problems. This CVN600 has a more powerful overall tone though the E-string dominates slightly over the other strings. In my opinion they would benefit greatly if more precision was taken when fitting the sound-posts. I am able to see space under the foot of one of the sound posts. Keep posted for details on how you can win one of these fiddles and which will be the next on the raffle schedule.

(Monday, Jan 25. 2021 07:23 PM)I don’t want to have them put geared ones on, if I can help it. The pegs the Luthier put on it are beautiful. So, I am only going to have them put the original tailpiece back on, which is very pretty. …Mouse
(Monday, Jan 25. 2021 07:21 PM)I asked them to put a tailpiece with fine tuners on it almost year ago when I bought it. It is lovely, but hard to find strings that will actually fit into the fine tuner slots.Mouse

(Monday, Jan 25. 2021 06:00 PM)That is disappointing because i found it helpful to follow what a chat post went to. I am going to see if there is a way to keep the notice in the chat window, but no email. I suspect it is a chat notification opt.Loading ...
