I purchased this for my 12 year old daughter who has been playing violin for two years. The staff at Atlantic Strings were excellent, they played each instrument we were interested in for us. At first, I had selected the Workshop Model of this instrument (due to cost) and placed an order for the next day. Unfortunately, the workshop model and the bow I selected for it were both “extremely” back-ordered. As a result the owner, Allen, became involved and he was amazing. He truly cared and didn’t want my daughter to lose quality because of the manufacture being back-ordered (something completely outside his control). He helped ensure the prices for this violin instead and an upgraded H. Lugar VPB40 Bow were within our budget. In addition, he upgraded the strings on the violin as well to ensure a high quality sound. My daughter has been using this violin for about two months now. She loves it and I love listening to it. Even the mistakes she makes while practicing sound beautiful. I definitely recommend this violin if you are looking for a superior quality, “step-up” instrument. But more importantly, I recommend this store and especially Allen the owner – who truly cares for his customers and as a result has made a customer for life.

We tried many violins from all over and this Petrov violin was a clear standout. My son is in love with it now and has gotten many comments from his teacher and others about how good it sounds. It was even better than the many other more expensive instruments we tried. They were also very patient with us in choosing the right violin. Very happy with it
