Ultimately a violin’s potential can only be realized by proper setup.  The violin's setup allows the inherent quality of wood and
construction to perform or prevents it from performing.  In general, the better violins respond to finely honed setup more than
less-expensive trade violins.  A super expensive bridge and super fancy strings may well not make your violin perform any
better!  The exact setup that is optimal depends on the violin and the player.  When we set up violins we look at the pegs,
fingerboard, neck shape, nut, saddle height, soundpost, tailpiece, and bridge.
