{"product_id":"reworked-chinese-violin","title":"Reworked Chinese Violin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA friend gave me a Chinese fiddle in nice condition - but it was a cheap fiddle!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI thought it would be interesting to see how good I could make this sound, so I took the front off and reworked just about everything on the inside. I set it up well and the result was a splendid-sounding fiddle that looks like a cheap Chinese instrument!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not worth what I spent in time doing the work,  but I have too many violins and want to move it on, so I'm asking a very modest £150. For this you get a cheap-looking instrument that sounds and plays a lot better than you might expect!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe experiment was interesting. I think I achieved the best sound I could have done from the violin and you can tell that some of the timber choices were budget rather than quality-driven. Nevertheless I've really enjoyed playing this violin and the surprised look on the faces of other players trying it out. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt currently has a very cheap set of eBay strings and sounds pretty good with them. Upgrading to a quality set of your choice could be worth trying. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Vincent Violins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56208834855297,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/8586\/2960\/files\/IMG_0246.jpg?v=1788293670","url":"https:\/\/grahamvincentviolins.myshopify.com\/products\/reworked-chinese-violin","provider":"Graham Vincent Violins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
