What makes our instruments different with others?
Dry tonewood.
Nowdays, it seems every seller/maker claims they use 10+ or 20+ seasoned tonewoods. We are in this business for many years. We know the secrets and see a different story. We can say that less than 10% instruments from China use 5+ years seasoned tonewood. We have seen more and more small factory/workshop use green wood(seasoned less than one year) due to price and time pressure. We stocked enough tonewood for at least 5 years usage. We guranttee all of our instruments use 5+ years seasoned wood. How to judge a fresh wood and well seasoned wood? 1. Use electronic wood moisture scanner. 2. Fresh wood smells sour. 3. Take your instruments to local violin shop. They may know.
Warning:
violins made from fresh woods have high risk of cracking, losing glue joints and neck wraping.
Tone quality.
Our instruments have better controlled plate thickness, about 5% thicker than standard thickness. The tone of our instruments will be better and better as time goes on. Some makers use overly thinned plates. Those instruments will lost tone after several years. How to check thin/normal plates? Use your thumb to press the areas near purfling, and you will know.
Shop standard setup.
Most of makers just throw factory size fingerboard on violins. They don't know those fingerboard is raw, and need to be adjusted. Ebony fingerboard directly from factory are always too thick.  bumps on surface. Inaccurate radius.
Our setup standard
Check thickness of fingerboard. I found most of Violins sold in eaby have bulky fingerboard thickness.
The radius of fingerboard need to be checked
High spot area need to be lowered
.Check the smoothnee of fingerboard surface. A light concavity is perferred. More scoop on G string side. Less scoop on E string side
Linseed oil polished
Check the thickness of neck with fingerboard. I can say most of other chinese seller's violins have bulky neck thickness because they use raw fingerboard.
The grooves on nut should be lubricated by a pencil. This is simple, but not everyone does it.
Many violins' heel are too bulky.
Check string clearance over the end of fingerboard.
Bridge feet need to be fit perfectly
Bridge cutting
Pegs need to be shaped. Make sure the taper of reamer fits the taper of shaper.
Peg compound applyied. Make sure pegs turns smoothly
polished peg ends. You will find The pegs of many violins sold on eaby have rough saw ends.
Dentist mirror used to check the fittness of soundpost. Full contact required. No minor gap are allowed.
R&D
Antonio Stradivari
For some 200 years, Antonio Stradivari has been recognised as the greatest violin maker of all. His developments in violin design, combined with excellent workmanship and super materials, produced instruments that, both tonally and  aesthetically, have never been surpassed. His career spanned 71 years.
He was born in or around Cremona in about 1644. He has traditionally been thought to have been a pupil of Nicolo Amati. Stradivari moved to Cremona's Piazza San Domenico in 1680, and from this point his work became more consistent and more prolific. Over the next 20 years he gradually moved away from Amati's influence, at first making violins based on Amati's model but slightly more robust in conception, and then experimenting with an entirely new form - the "Long Pattern" of the 1690s. This was no doubt an attempt to match the richness of tone that the Brescian makers of the 16th and 17th centuries had achieved.
It was in 1699 that Stradivari finally found the ideal model for which he had been searching, and the "Lady Tennant" is an early example of Stradivari's so-called "Golden Period". This peirod saw Stradivari at the height  of his powers, making instruments that are characterised by an increased breadth of model and flatness of arch, combined with magnificently flamed maple backs, and glorious red varnish that is one of the trademakers of his best work.

"My bow arrived safely. Thanks you. I would really like to commend your staff for the excellent craftsmanship that has gone into this bow. Because I am a violin-maker my standards are extremely high, and I have to say this bow has been made without any flaws or problems. It is perfect. Please pass on this message to your bow-maker"-----------------Philip
"I wanted to tell you that I have found your instruments and bows to be amazing quality for the price. I bought a viola from your company last year through ebay, and when I took it to have the bridge fitted, the Luthier said that the viola was worth more than 5 times what I paid for it. Your bows are beautiful and well made, too, and would cost probably 5 - 10 times more if bought from a local music shop. Thank you so much!" -------------------------------------------------Anna
"I Got my bow today, I love it!!! It's carbon fiber bow I've ever played and I played many brands in the past. Please tell the maker that he is one hell of a bow maker!"---------------------------------------------Jonathan
"I want to tell you that this exquisite copy is one of your "Hallmark" pieces--a real "Grand AMATI" in every way. In a small but famous shop in Washington, D.C., about 37 years ago, I looked at 3 Nicolo Amati violins in this pattern and I can tell you that your maker has captured the pure essence of the Amati House of Violinmaking at its best!
