violin shops in Chicago
Hello. I would like to ask you where are a good store to find the Italian and French violin in Chicago. Since I don;t live in Chicago, I don't know where the store is a sincere and trustworthy. My price range is $30,000 to 50,000. When I went to New York to find the violin, some shops asked very expensive price rather than its value. Thus, I hope you recommend violin shops in Chicago. Thank you.

(IMO), be prepared for some honest, blunt (always well-meaning) opinion on all things strings.
