Comments garnered about this violin from experienced players: “exceptionally smooth and easy to play”; “great ensemble instrument”; “not too bright, not too dark”.
Yes, this violin is a blender — not for smoothies, but definitely smooth. The players that have tried it agree: it’s made to fit well with other instruments.
That’s not to say it is meek — it is not meek. It projects well and resonates pleasingly. It simply has no sharp edges, nor pushes the boundaries of bright or dark overtones. If you like to blend with others’ playing, while still being heard, this is it.
