The Tobin Violin

Niamh has been getting to big for her 1/4 size violin for a while now, but her teacher did not really want to change to a bigger size just before her exams as she will have to work out the tuning on a new violin again, and generally feel comfortable with bowing and different sound, but she had such a growth spurt that she was really struggling on the smaller one so she just had to change to a bigger one. Her teacher has let her use this lovely violin, it is a Tobin and was made about 200 years ago. The sound is really rich and lovely not to mention a lot louder, Niamh is so excited to have such a special violin and really cherishes it already.
