The judges commented specifically on his design, workmanship and consistency. The picture below will be featured in the IVB Celebratory calendar - gracing the month of December.

We have a rental customer that moved to North Carolina last year. They elected to continue to rent our instrument. After a number of months, they were relocated to Washington state. When I received the call informing me of their move, I assumed this was the time they would return the rental.

Imagine my surprise when, not only did they tell me they wanted to go to the next size for their player, but that their teacher in North Carolina had been thrilled with our rental and recommended that they stay with us!

That teacher, Sue Edwards, is a Suzuki Teacher that used to teach in Central New York and is now in North Carolina. She was kind enough to send us a testimonial that I would like to share:

I have been a Suzuki violin teacher for 25 years, and the rental instruments from Sapp Violins are the BEST quality sound I have ever encountered in fractional sized instruments. They hold their tune beautifully. The fractional instruments have beautiful rich tone, and quality that I never hear until a full size instrument with other rental companies. The cases are sturdy and functional with the beloved backpack feature straps. I encouraged my student to stay with their rental from Sapp Violins even after moving to North Carolina and then Washington because I heard that much of a sound quality difference from their instruments. Thank you Sapp Violins! Your instruments are a joy to listen to!
