I recently purchased a VN-909 (August, 2012) and not only has the violin exceeded expectations but the level of service and professionalism that was provided by Rhiannon was fantastic!
It is obvious that Rhiannon has a real passion for music and truly cares for her customers needs and concerns.
The 909 she setup and sold to me projects an incredibly warm, rich sound that makes this violin a real pleasure to play. The full tone and exceptional characteristics of this violin only inspire me to want to be a better player.
The price for this model from Fiddleheads is unbeatible and, I believe, is a wise investment for any level of player. I know for myself I will not have to make another violin purchase for many years to come. If I'm lucky enough to ever achieve the level of skill that we all desire, I have no doubts that the 909 will still be the instrument for me.
In the meantime I couldn't be happier with my purchase and I feel incredibly lucky to have found Rhiannon.
[UPDATE: November 2012] It has now been three months since I purchased my 909 from Fiddleheads and I love it more now then ever. The warm, rich sound that was so prevelant when I first purchased this violin really has improved dramatically.
This violin continues to amaze and to inspire me. I never would have expected so much change in the sound quality, it was so impressive to begin with. I think that it really speaks to the talent of the maker and to the ability of Rhiannon to recognize truly great quality.
There are so many choices now in where to purchase a violin that it can be very confusing for anyone, the 909 is the third violin I have a purchased and in my experience I can truly say that I would never consider buying from anyone but Rhiannon.
Never would've expected this sound quality improvement, it was so impressive to begin with
