What list of check points do I need for my investigation when choosing a violin?  Simply put.
Once you are ready to buy a violin, the bow or any of its parts there are quite a lot of details that are wise to know about so that your choice is sound.

1.  Personal taste; to settle or to be pleased.
2. Affordability … what can be saved on, and still be sound.
3. The basic box. How does it work. Mechanics.
4. Add’ons, Why?
5. HocusPokus vs Thebasicbox.
6. European or Chinese woods.
7. Investment. Can I make money out of this if I sell it in 3 years time?
