Giving up on the violin business. There is too much garbage, and too many people doing garbage. I have turned my attention to flutes. Because with the flutes you know the make and model, + condition. You know what it's worth, and what a overhauled flute can sell for. Not so many garbage deals.
Right now a buyer defaulted on my violin with Tarisio, Tarisio said they where in contact with him and expecting him to pay, but he has not done it yet. If I don't get the money from the violin I will not get my bills paid this month.
