Hi Sheila
Thank you ! for the nice website, it's plenty of useful information, and the more very interesting about the whole glimps of violinsstuff...
We are seeking for our son a good violin that doesn't limit his tecnical and expressive possibilities. He developed a lot of talent and skills in his 3 years of practice, since he was 3 years old. Now with 6 he does an interpretation of Vivaldi Violinconcert really on the own, and he is very inspired by Itzhak Perlmann...

Hello Sheila, I have been looking at the details of Sarasate the violinist, in my search for information for the Isle of Wight. Do you know that he gave a concert at Ryde Town Hall on 25 Jan 1893.

nice site. one thing though may be wrong in your history... I have several pieces of Rubinoff history. one of the little die cut paper violins with his autograph, a 1946 program from a concert at Mcalester high school, McAlester Ok., as well as an accounting sheet of the concert. The concert was put on by Beta Sigma Phi, this accounting shows he received 365.00 for the Matinee and 678.00, for the evening performance. so all his school concerts were not free. It shows after all expenses the sorority
cleared $22.14. If anyone would like to see them I'll upload some photos if that is possible here. Ron

 Love this site to bits. But Sheila please help me with a contact for Dr Fulton - you will remeber my enquiry earlier when I was writing my biography of Yehudi Menuhin. Have just heard the CBS Concert on Demand interview with Dr Fulton and James Ehnes and would like to contribute a few corrections about facts concerning the Lord Wilton del Gesu that belonged to Menuhin from 1978 until 1999.

I loved your site. I want to purchase 2 violins with a good sound for myself and my 11 year old. We are both beginners, but know enough that we want the quality. In years past, my older children took violin lessons. They did it with inexpensive student violins and got really frustrated and ended up quitting due to the sound and quality. Now, I am in a position to take it up and have a little money to spare... It wouldn't do me any good to "try" the violin out first, as I don't know enough of what to look for...I would be purchasing it in the Portland, OR area if anyone has an idea...

Hello Sheila,
I came across your website a year or so ago, and again tonight. I am IN AWE of your website, which seems to have grown since my last visit. As a violinist and violin and viola teacher, I am so impressed with every facet of your site. Now I am very curious to learn more about you. I have never seen a violin website with more clever pictures and information for violinists of any age or ilk! You are obviously a dedicated and creative teacher, and a role model for the rest of us! THANK YOU!!!
Best Wishes, Susan Brenneis-Fisher

Dear Shiela,
I discovered your website by accident and really love what you have done here. I hope you get a chance to try some of my violins that I made one day. By the way, I was Midori's violin maker-restorer back in NY and took care of her violins and bows at my NEW YORK VIOLIN SHOP. I t seems like only yesterday when she broke those e-strings at Tanglewood playing the Bernstein serenade! Look forward meeting you and all the best. Phillip Injeian.

Hello, Shiela.
My brother and I love this website! There's a lot of great stuff. We don't actually play the violin, though (we can play piano, guitar, drums, and VIOLA. But, that is just combined list.)but it's still KOOL. Anyway, we love your website. It's the best (and probably the only one that isn't an advertisemnet) violin website EVER!!!
We'll go on a LOT. Keep on adding things to the site!

Discovered you by accident, looking to see what violins F Kreisler played and owned. I am writing a pastiche about Sherlock Holmes who was in Vienna in 1891 and met Kreisler. K gave him some lessons as SH owned a violin which was said by Arthur Conan Doyle to be a Strad obtained for a song at a London street market but Kreisler proves it to be cheap copy. SH was  of course. Carl

Thank you for the great piece on my grandfather, Dave Rubinoff, also known as "Rubinoff & His Violin"! This is the nicest thing I have found about him on the internet & I appreciate the effort you made in finding info & photos.I could close my eyes & picture my grandfather playing, when I found an MP3 of Rubinoff & His Violin during my web surfing.
