Do you think i should buy this violin? and do you think that it was really worth 3680 dollors...also what is the difference between stradavari and Guarneri violins.

If I were you I wouldn`t. Obviously the company doesn`t care enough about the consumer to actually put up DIFFERENT descriptions of the Strad and Guarneri models. They might be worth buying, but try one first. I personally dislike most of the Asian crafted instruments. But try them out.

Shops put an item up at a sale price because they can`t sell it at their regular price. Now, depending on whether or not the shop accepts personal callers (there is no indication that they do, it seems that their business is entirely mail order) this may be because the violin genuinely does not compete with others in the same price range, or it may simply be because the shop has been unable to convince customers that it is a good buy. Over here we find it next to impossible to sell Chinese violins over £200 without people having tried them first but the US seem to be keener on Chinese instruments than Briits are.

I`m not being a lot of help, am I?
