I played all day since the package arrived around 10:30 AM. I did my lesson with my online instructor and blew him away.
I played for another three hours. I can't believe the difference between it and my old Klaus Heffler... I knew there would be a difference, but I had no idea just how much. We're talking apples and oranges here.
The G-string on my Heffler sounds terrible, and I have tried two different strings (Peter Infeld, Dominant Pro), and there is just no "ring" to the G.
Today the first thing I did with my new Kowalski is play a D on the G string, and the "ring" was definitely there, a clear sign of sympathetic vibrations.
On my Heffler, the G string just sounded dull and "gravelly." The Kowalski sounds better when I play my Arcus T7 carbon fiber bow.
You did it again, Rhiannon - score another one for the Violin Cupid!
We certainly appreciate all you have done for us! We both consider you a friend and not just our instrument dealer.
