Just a thought... :) Also, perhaps the reason it looks a little smallish next to my hand in the picture is because the shoulders are much narrower - that is, closer to the body - than an acoustic’s… Just a thought… :)

Both my electrics - the five string pictured above and the new six string pictured elsewhere - are full size. The six string of course is much wider in the neck than the five string! Hi!

I do remember seeing your posts, I think, on Joe's site! It's great to hear from you! Unfortunately, I don't know where to find Joe. I did have his personal email address for a while, but now, when I try to send him something, it bounces back to me. :( I know that he wasn't in my state, California. I can't recall where he's living, though.... I'm sorry I'm not much help. But let mw know if you do locate him! Good luck in your search! Hi, Johnson!

I don't have personal knowledge of Knilling's violins - neither myself nor any of my students own one. But I do love their planetary pegs, which are of high quality and ingenious design, and the company is very reputable and has been very kind in dealing with me, so I wouldn't have any qualms about trying one of their violins. The main thing about purchasing a violin from anyone is to be sure to try it out with your daughter and her teacher for as long as you can before making a decision, and to compare several different brands if you can. Also, you can always step into a local luthier's shop and ask to sample their instruments to see what kind of a sound and feel you like... And of course you want to be able to return the instrument if you try it and aren't happy with it. Take time to experiment - it's well worth it, especially as your daughter advances in her studies. :) Hi, Marcus!!

I was considering purchasing her a new or used viloin. She is about 4ft. 4 inches and 55 lbs. I know they come in different sizes. I was told that Knilling was a good brand. Do you have any suggestions? Thank You Marcus Sarah,
