[quote=Anonymous]Narrowing them down, and getting the teacher involved without wasting his time is the plan. This is an older teen small/adult-size beginner who is just now starting on the higher positions, so she needs something with plenty room to grow. The dedication to practice is there. She just joined an orchestra as a Violin 2, and there is a heavy load of stacatto / spicatto there. Her standard issue fiberglass bow is heavy -- and tip-heavy, so she reports her bow hand is clenched when she is done with her 2h rehearsal. She's doing fine with intonation and speed on her left hand. I guess all those piano classes when she was young are paying off. A new bow is actually the pressing issue, but I think upgrading her from the rental to a violin that works with the bow makes sense, since she seems to be sticking with the instrument and we're thinking taking her violin shopping would be a nice way to reward her efforts. I am personally not a violin player, and was not actually counting on having one in the family, so I'm learning as fast as i can about the space to keep up with her rapid growth. She's been at it for less than one year, but her progress is impressive, so hopefully she gets a violin that will give her some room to grow for the next few years. Interested to hear if the price range I have in mind is not appropriate.[/quote]
