I'm a guitar player, acoustic/electric and with some piano background, bass for fun, you know.
Coming into the violin world, I first realized what vast amount of snobbery that's fundamentally marking the business.
Wanting to avoid overpriced "brand violins" and just get a good one, I feel I need a bit of advice here.
Talking guitars, it's easy to point on cost - item ratio, electric guitars have different settings, range of tone and setup.
Meanwhile I find NO variation among acoustic violins, yet the price vary something insanely AND second-hand violins seems to be the most expensive? wtf?
Halp.

you will need a very responsive violin for this , so try to get a violin made of italian alpine spruce top at .34 gravity and a weight of 400/420 grams
