I'm a Junior attending a High School and I have strong interests in the music field. Most of my friends already have their own instruments; but I still don't have my own. I was wondering if anyone would recommend me to a violin, money is not an option. I have heard countless times that really expensive violins aren't usually the best. So I'd just like to hear what other people has to say in what company makes great violins and have a good reputation. I have heard about Hammond Ashley, Suzuki, and Cecilo. But I am still unaware of which would be a great buy. Thanks for your help!
