i thought i`d just deal with it but the a sounds so impure and nasty. little short on cash but i really want this fixed . btw, how do they do it? do they poke the sound post with a pencii through an f hole or do they open the violin up somehow. and if they open the violin up, is there a chance of damage or something?

It`s done with a special, no need to open the violin up. I don`t know how much it costs in the US though.

Training, yes. Time, not long at all. Minutews rather than hours.
