After a while, advancing players realize their instrument isn't up to the task.  
With musical and technical advancement, equipment upgrades are
inevitable.  We're well aware of the time demands of the modern world and
make finding that great intermediate outfit easy by full descriptions on our
online shop.  We'll play any of these violins or outfits for you over the
telephone (866 884 6546 toll free).  We'll be glad to demonstrate the
instruments in person.  Don't forget:


Intermediate players – either amateurs or students – require a broad range
of tone colors and dynamics to learn expressive playing, need fast and
consistent response for more complex techniques, and sufficiently high peak
volume for beginning group performance.  Rich tone, good balance, and
easy projection aid developing advanced skills.  At the same time, a certain
amount of willingness and forgiveness provide confidence as increasingly
difficult techniques and materials are mastered.

These instruments are generally hand made in mid-size to large workshops
by craft specialists.  They begin to exhibit a greater degree of individual
difference and can be more effectively adjusted to a player’s preferences.
