Hi, my name is Oleg, my daughter Olivia is 11 yo. She plays violin since the age of 3.5 We changed many student violins starting from tiny little ones as Olivia grew. Those violins were simple and quite affordable for me. But now is the time to play on a professional instrument. Today we went to music shop and Olivia tried several violins. She was really impressed by German violin sirca 1900. It has amazing bright and powerful sound, great response and versatility. The way this violin started to sing in Olivia's hand was real magic.
