If you are in the market for an professional violin, I mabe able to save you time in trouble. I recently did a lot research before purchasing the Q006 violin, view picture, or test video, and I asked customer service a lot of questions. This is not a top-level violin, but it is a high-end violin with characteristics. What impresses me most is the snakewood accessories and its clear and noise-free sound. You have to know that snakewood cannot be used to make the body of the violin because snakewood is very soft, but it can be used as an accessory. Unlike the common ebony chinrest, snakewood greatly increases the appearance of the violin. If you want a nice violin with character, then I totally recommend this!
