information about a violin

January 11, 2010 11:36

I have been given the chance to get a Paolo Lorenzo violin on a rent to own program and wondered what the members knew about this maker?  I have been told it is an upper beginner lower advanced instrument which is what I am looking to get as an adult beginner which will also be a giant step up from my Chinese knock-off with painted fingerboard ect....

I know that there will be good and bad and I will have to make the decision on my own BUT all input is helpful
