So, I’ve been thinking about picking up a violin lately. I’ve always been intrigued by the sound, but I’m not sure where to start when it comes to buying one. I mean, there are so many options out there—different brands, sizes, and price points.
First off, I know I need something that’s good quality but also won’t break the bank. I’ve looked at some violins online, and honestly, a lot of them seem either too expensive or too cheap, with questionable reviews. I’m after something that feels solid, has a nice rich tone, and won’t fall apart after a few months of practice.
I’ve heard that violins made from solid wood tend to offer better sound than the laminated ones, but I’m not sure how much of a difference it’ll make. I’ve also noticed that the size matters, especially if you’re a beginner. You don’t want something too big or too small for your reach, so that’s something I’ll definitely have to check before buying.
A friend mentioned checking out Alibaba, where you can find a range of violins at different price points. I’m still on the fence, though, and would love any advice or recommendations from those who’ve bought violins online before!
