Thomann Europe 5-String Violin 4/4

Walking through the store shaking with excitement I came upon this lonely instrument, almost out of sight hidden away on the uppermost shelf. It reminded me of a song from Cohen. "Bird on a Wire" I struggled to get it down from it's purch, I panicked looking around for a bow, a sough one lying crucked on a stool and I seezed it. My heart was beating ten to a dozen, far more than my Cardioologist allows me . I did not care . I put the bow to this lonely fiddle, tears came to my eyes, I immediatley fell in love , with it's tonal qualities, my fingers went up and down the finger board , the excitement was over whelming. I had to have it. The price was so low , I wanted to freely offer more. The assistant packed it heartfelt in a box. I knew now what it must be like to adopt a child, this feeling inside you when you get with the smell of a brand new vehicle you bought . I want the device to be my partner on the remainder of my musical journey. What a buy .... a feast for the senses :>)

This is the best violin I have ever played in my life. I has warmth and depth and brightness. The tone is full and round from the low C all the way to the third position on the E string.
It has good volume projection. The tone is balanced through the range from C to E string. The strings are the perfect height above the fingerboard and the setup is absolutely perfect. The finetuners work effortlessly. The ebony pegs have perfect grip for tuning. The finish on the violin is absolutely perfect and stunning. It arrived promptly and was packaged safely and everything was setup, all I had to do was tune it.
This 5 string violin sounds better than a 7,000 euro 5 string violin that I tried out for a few weeks.
In my opinion this is a Master Level violin and amazing quality for the price.

A million percent rating from me.

I would recommend any customer who buys this to add a carbon viola bow too (doesn't have to be expensive) as it sounds particularly full and vibrant with a viola bow. :)
