got the grandson a violin for x-mass last year.
it is a full size Franz Hoffmann Prelude.
well, he uses it, so it needs regular PM (preventative maintenance)…..but he is in Florida so i have to manage its upkeep from afar.
so i just had a new bridge installed along with a new set of better strings at a shop in St Petersburg which was recommended by his music teacher.
$120 total, which i felt was reasonable & the instrument is reported to be in excellent shape.
