Our 8 year daughter needed to upgrade to next size. After some evaluation we decided to take the chance with this GEWA Violin. No reviews on this one, but so far everything turned out really good. We recieved a beautiful instrument, and to us, our daughter and us parents to it sounded really good. When our daughters violin teacher had seen it and listen to it, he said he was quite impressed, It was playing above it's price he said. So hopefully she will have a great tool for the comming years.
