Violins to buy

I can not see how anyone could say " All Chinese violins and no good". I am sure that they have never tryed playing violins from ALL Chinese violin Makers!!!I have spent years going all over China looking for the best violins ( I have been to China about 30 times in 8 years.) . There are very bad one and very good ones just like you would see in cars made in America! Not all are good ,not all are bad!!I will say for Violins up to about $6,000.00 ,I can find a better violin for the money In China, than you will in any other contry in the world. I buy student violins to sell . I have not had anyone in the last 8 years show me any other violin company that is not in china ,that has better violins for the same price.The brand I sell is the "Pearl River". They make violins from new student to semi-pro. I have people call me about my violins, after finding out that they are made in China. Many people will not even look at them. I have sold violins and the costomer has told me the violin has a better sound than friends of theres that payed $2,000.00 and even one told me there violin teacher told them the pearl river violin had just as good a sound as her own violin that was a $7,000.00 violin made in Italy.All violins even from the same maker are not as good. I will say one out of 10 that I get I don`t like to much. But at the same time about 1 in 10 will very good.Best if you can try the violin out befor you buy!!!
