Hello Mad_Wed!

Yes, I sort of disappeared for a while from the forums, but I am glad to back.  Lots of wonderful folks around here.

If you have this violin, then you have a good one!

I'm guessing the string problem with your old violin was from the bridge being too tall.  The G string should be 4-5 mm above the fingerboard at the end.  The E string should be 2.5-3 mm or so above.

IMO that's really good playing for never having played anything before 10 months ago.  I thought your intonation was pretty good.

Congratulations on your new instrument.  It looks and sounds like a good one.

Thank, Sir.  If you do decide to buy one, I don't think you will regret it.  I am semi-self taught.  I learned for about four months on my own, then took a few months of lessons, and now I am back to myself again.

You know I never considered the bridge being to tall an issue, but that makes perfect sense.  And thank you for the compliment.
