Hello all,

I have recently inherited a violin and i was after some information regarding it,

I have tried to find the model online to get a description of what i indeed have, but i can not find any information and have never played Violin before.

It measures at 22" in total and it has the words Cathedral on which i presume is a brand? Is this a good brand? I have a bow too and a case.

Was just after general information if anyone has any?

Thanks guys!

Grant

Take some good pictures of the label inside and the back, etc. and post them here. That will help a lot.

 

Welcome to the family of fiddlers. I'm sure there's someone here that help. The name isn't familiar to me but I live a sheltered life so it could very well have a good history.

My guess is that it is a relatively inexpensive student model violin.

I was able to find a UK shop that sells "Cathedral" coloured violins. Not all brands show up on searches. Depends on how good their marketing is.

From the picture is looks like a fairly new student to intermediate Chinese violin that has been branded. It's however impossible to tell from just that picture though.

How does it sound?

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Ok I dont know where you are located, but Ebay UK. list two on there site.

from cost I can only image that its a student violin. Something like Mendini is here in the States.

I could not find them new.

I hope this helps a little.

With violins there is no fretting over the music.
