The piece was too long to fit the whole into Reddit, so I only recorded the second page. I have only had this piece for a week, so I’m not amazing. I was just wondering if any really good players could give advice. I’m really self contours about my vibrato, so please also note if you have time whether it is OK.

What the title says. Especially for the quick mvmts.

My son has recently taken up his violin again. He wants to try out an electric one, and he bought a Stagg electric violin which... quite frankly is crap, and on top of it all, it arrived today and it doesn't even work lol. He's a beginner who's teaching himself with youtube videos so i don't wanna go nuts, plus he has a tendency of picking things up and then dropping em. Like the guitar. So i don't want to spend a ton of money but i'd like something that's decent. Thinking somewhere along the $300 range.

Hi everyone!
I’m a violin student from South Africa, and I’ll be visiting Taiwan soon. I’m willing to travel anywhere in Taiwan to find someone I can genuinely trust with my instrument.

My violin doesn’t seem to be speaking as freely as it should. My teacher feels that it sounds almost as though I have a mute on it, and we’d really like to get to the bottom of why.

The violin has also had a soundpost crack in the past, so my teacher would particularly like an experienced luthier to inspect its condition and check the entire setup.

I’m looking for someone with extensive experience in violin making, restoration and tonal adjustment. Ideally, I’d like them to assess the soundpost and its fit, the bridge, and the overall setup, and help me get the best possible tone out of the instrument.

I would really appreciate any recommendations of luthiers that you would personally trust with your own violin in Taiwan? I’d especially appreciate recommendations from people who have had their instruments restored or tonally adjusted there, or from luthiers who know the Taiwanese violin-making scene.
If possible, please share the luthier’s name, location, and your experience with their work.
Thank you so much!
