Question by Melissa: What is a good violin for an advanced player?
I am wanting to buy a good violin that is maybe less than 2000..? This is my fourth year playing so I do not need a cheap beginner’s violin. Can I please have suggestions of some good sounding and good looking violins that I could look at?

You need to go to a good string store and try out different violins. Beginner instruments go by brand, and even with those there are big differences between two violins of the same brand and model. At your level you shouldn’t even be thinking of looking for a particular brand.
Find out where the good string players in your area go for instruments and supplies and then pay them a visit. A good store will stock a variety of violins from different makers and in different price ranges so you’ll be able to find one that suits you. Don’t even think of buying an unknown violin online. You need to actually play a violin to know if it’s the one you want to buy.
