Here are some pictures of my new violin (with the knilling perfection pegs). Any comments or thoughts would be welcome.
I'm enjoying playing it a great deal, but am trying to learn a bit about visually identifying violins such as the scroll look etc...

It's from Violins Etc... In Austin. It's a Max Schaeffer model, Romanian Workshop Violin that they get in the White and then finish themselves.

Take off the tape. The force is with you. Use the force...

If I take off the tape, I'll be starting in the wrong place :)

Jason, it happens with your ears. You could find it with your eyes closed, even. Your wonderful teacher can show you how.

When I started learning the violin, my teacher asked if I'd like to use some tapes on the figerboard to help with intonation. I said, "NO! I'll learning with my ears, not my eyes."Posted on April 12, 2006 at 1:49 AM
Yeah, take off the tapes :-)
