What a marvellous instrument (Eric Jackson violin). I’m so glad I travelled all the way from the Middle East to Cardiff to play your wonderful violin. Having played in orchestras from the age of 7, I went on to lead most orchestras I played in right through my Masters of Music degree until now, in Doha, where I lead the Doha Community Orchestra whilst at the same time act as Head of Music at Doha College, Doha Qatar. Having extracted every bit of sound of my old violin it was time for an upgrade. I had no idea new violins could sound this good. In fact, it was so good my partner (a cellist) was so impressed with the violin sound that he played your cello and didn’t want to play another after hearing it (he’s now saving up).
