Dd is 13 and only grade 4 but we have decided to take the plunge and buy her a decent violin which I’ve found quite a daunting experience.
I think we’ve found the one. It has a lovely tone to it and at £875 is at the upper end of what we can afford/ justify.
My plan is not to spend £400 ish on a bow at tge moment but to get a £150 ish one for now. The £150 bow would still be significantly better then what she has at the moment (a stentor student outfit).
I am not a violinist and not massively musical so really after advice as to whether this sounds a good course of action. Most importantly dd loves tg violin (having tried many - some more expensive, some less).
