I'm in need of a 4/4 violin...I'm an intermediate player that's been playing violin for about 5 years already (on-and-off player) and the violin that I use now has gotten too small for me that my neck and arm has started hurting.
What brands would you guys suggest? My budget limit is $500 I guess..no more than that.
The violin I use currently is a 3/4 Becker Symphony 1000~


Thanks in advance :D

I have a Andreas Eastman (its a vL305 which is probably more expensive than your looking for. Mine was around $1,500) but the lower models are probably pretty nice and they would be a little cheaper
