The Dimitrov arrived safely! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Not only is it stunningly gorgeous, the tone is magnificent! It is everything I desired--lush, warm and sweet! The sound is so incredibly pleasing to my ear and senses (and it's still just a baby!). What is a surprise (oh, duh) is how incredibly easy it is to play and to tune!
Cue Matchmaker music from Fiddler on the Roof… Matchmaker, you've done it again!
Thank you for the note and surprise. Bulgarian Rose…how appropriate!
Rhiannon, it is very easy and a pleasure to be a continued customer with you. Not only are you an experienced player and teacher, you are an upfront and honest businesswoman with integrity who loves what she does!
[UPDATE: 4 weeks later] I just LOVE my violin! You have no idea what happiness and joy I feel to finally have my "forever" violin! The good news is that I am participating in a virtual ensemble doing Ashokan Farewell!
Having just started lessons in October 2012, it is a definite learning and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g experience for me!
[UPDATE] To Mr. Dimitrov: I am now the very proud and grateful owner of this wonderful Guarneri del Gesu 1743! Words cannot express how happy I am with this incredible violin.
I wrote Rhiannon Nachbaur at Fiddleheads.ca who helped me pick it out that the sound is everything I wanted--lush, warm and sweet!
The violin itself is just beautiful and feels so good in the hand. Thank you for making this beautiful instrument.
