"Hello
Tim,
I
bought two violins in November - one for my daughter's Christmas
present and one for myself. I just wanted to let you know how
delighted we both are. Alice is playing beautifully and the
difference in the sound she is making is amazing. My own playing
has also really improved and I've had the confidence to volunteer to
play in my school's production of West Side Story. I'm so enjoying it!
Thanks
again for these beautiful violins,"
Lesley
