I have a GCV Handmade Violin. Tip-top Condition. Good projection, clear tonality. You only need to change the strings.
Bought at $500. My gal used it for Grade 3 exam. Willing to let go at better than trade-in price/good enough offer. Let me know if you are keen.
for handmade brand new violins, you can get it at $295 from www.solistrings.com
great for kids as they offer a trade in value for instruments bought from them.
