So I am thinking of buying a viola made by "Hans Schumann" but don't know a thing about the maker. My research on Google has not turned up much other than most of his instruments have been sold in Wisconsin and are in the $2000 to $3000 dollar range. I'm paranoid by nature and regardless of the sound and deal, I always want to know what I'm getting into.
Thanks!
Laurie

Did you buy the instrument?
Which model is it?
What kind of sound does it have?
