Contempoary Chinese Violins

February 4, 2016, 7:59 PM · Is there any one out there have experiences with the violin made by various violin workshops in China?

I have been looking at some of the eBay violin auctions and feel like going through a maze, there is The Violin Shop, Du-Shi, Yita, Old violin House, Capitalmusic, Joysee, Melodywoods, Song Family, on and on. If you have any experiences with any of the eBay violin seller I would love to hear from you.

If you're an experienced player looking for a good instrument, I would suggest try before you buy because if you buy online, you would have to gamble that the instrument is good, and you could get bad luck. If your standards aren't too high, go for it and you might get lucky.
