@Gordon Shumway  Let's be honest, Allison is a kinda negative person in her reviews. Even when she is pro something, she tells you what a piece of crap it is. When a person says they were really surprised they tend to be doubtful before they ever experience the situation, and she likes to constantly remind you that she is used to playing on a violin that cost more than your......entire life. For her to actually give a positive review surprised me, because, well, I was doubtful she would.

It's a given, when Fiddlerman or Michael O'Gieblyn pick up a violin, its going to sound good. Michael demonstrated a Kennedy and it sounded a lot better than it should have, no secret Kennedy is weak.

If I pick up a violin and demonstrate it and it sounds incredible, you need to do 2 things. First, buy that violin, I had nothing to do with it sounding incredible. Second, call an exorcist, just in case I'm possessed by a demon that loves music, because that's what friends do for each other.
