I'm looking for a new violin. I play Irish fiddle; does anyone know of a violin that is good for folk/traditional music? Thank you.

Here is a list of celtic violins for sale if you can trust ebay. I bought my electric violin off of ebay and I love it. But here is the link if you're interested!

Thank you all. Zevida: yes, I have seen her play, and it is amazing. I was looking for a certain tone in a violin that is nice for Irish fiddle, but then again the strings make a big difference in the tone, too.
I have found a Gliga violin that I am going to try (they seem to be popular).
