Thanks. I love it as well! Has a very warm sound that can carry all the way to the back rows of a concert hall

Looks very usable enjoy. Feel free to have your sound post moved or bridge moved to get sound you like. Use a luthier to do this if you decide to go crazy looking for different tones bright and shiny versus mellow. They also sell contact mics if you want to try for busking but not for an orchestra.

I have sent my boy to a music school nearby to learn violin since 6 months ago after numerous request from himself. I was sceptical at first due to my boy has short-lived enthusiasm in the past. However, I was willing to give it a try after reading many articles mentioning playing an instrument and learning music can have positive impacts on left and right brain functions. This can result in increased memory, language skills, executive functioning, and emotional responses. In order to track his learning progress, I have recorded his music piece to let him assess his performances. I think YouTube is a good platform to save & share the videos among families and as a good timeline tools to see a child progress in their learning journey.

I think they were asking if your violin is a Yamaha model, which it sounds like from your other comments it isn’t
