I am a musician and I like music a lot, especially when it comes to classical music. I have my own William Lewis 1997 Violin. It looks beautiful and it has a nice tone. It usually gets out of tune a lot. I am not sure why it is doing that. My violin is a modern-day violin, not a baroque-day violin, which means it does not have gut string, it is not tuned a half step lower than usual, it has a chin and shoulder rest, it has a longer neck, and last but not least, it has 4 fine tuners. I also play the piano, and I am interested in playing the cello too. PS: Where you see my birthday, I really meant to put 2001, just to tell you because they did not have that selection there.
