Parents are supportive of their children being interested in something other than video games but they want to make sure that they know how to buy a violin before making a couple of hundred to a thousand-dollar decision. Many times, it’s not the price tag that makes them unsure of how to buy a good violin, but the lack of information they feel they need to make a good decision.
Stringed Instrument 10 Point Inspection
The Violin Gallery 10 Point Inspection ensures that the instrument you invest in is perfect in its condition, playability, and appearance. We check for any physical imperfections, structural anomalies that may affect the tonal quality of your performance, and the overall functionality of your instrument from the tailpiece to the scroll.
Tonal-quality Matrix
At the Violin Gallery, we use a custom rating matrix to identify the unique voice of each instrument. Each of the twelve tonal elements is rated separately and an average score is given to each instrument. The rating system judges power, clarity, balance, evenness, warmth, richness, depth, smoothness, brilliance, responsiveness, edginess, and resonance. And yes, they are all different and help identify whether an instrument has a good tone.
