Hi Jacob,
  I received the Chiriac violin yesterday. Its is beautiful! I tried it
out as soon as I got it out of the box, excellent packing by the way.
Just playing it for a few minutes I could tell it had a nicer sound than
my $500 violin, it has a nice warm sound to it. I am just a beginning
violinist and even I can tell the difference. This will become my
primary instrument from now on, and when  i'm more experienced I will
definitely save up and purchase a Gliga professional violin from you.
Thank you very much.

Sincerely
Dieter Esterbrook
