I love these threads. I was in this same position a couple of months ago. I hadn't yet found fiddlerman. As a guitar player, i looked at all of the guitar places online and went to many guitar stores in town. i found the same problems as well. i ended up going to a local violin shop and had the same experience. it was great, so i bought something from them. i am happy with it and wouldn't trade it for anything. but after spending more time on this forum and watching the reviews, if i had it to do over, i would have bought the cvn from fiddlerman.
even though i'm sure the violin shop would still be some help, i'm sure they would not go to the extremes that i see here. i've seen nothing but happy costomers on here and all the help and advise you can get.

I wonder if we all maintain a special fondness for our first violin?
I am amazed at how old people of my age are.....

Absolutely Terry! And if that instrument was in the family a long time I would think the attachment is even stronger.
I kinda feel that way about the 90 yr old German production unit I saved from disaster and certain landfill...I actually catch myself putting it away somewhere safe if I plan on being gone for a day or more and not around to watch it. Almost as bad as a kid.
I think you get used to the little things about it, it becomes friendly and comfortable and you develop a love/hate relationship not unlike a human one.
My woman and I have been together now over 28 yrs and we've had a lot of ups and downs but we figure, why change now. Same thing after you've learned on your first, why change now...
Maybe to a $3.2 Million dollar one if you get famous, but I bet you still keep the first one handy for dinnertime conversation.
