Anything, ranging from strings & accessories to fine adjustments on the violin/accessories, etc.

Only dominants around. And the occasional Evah. What a tragedy for me. Most people here are not very interested in set ups. I think I might try out a few of these, probably the ones at the lower/medium end of the spectrum. But I will be open to any different suggestions. Thank you everyone!

Funny thing in a lot of my string research is I've seen lots of D, G, and E strings applauded but never heard an A string be praised.

Dominants, Tonicas were not very suitable. Evahs were too loud and soloist-y. Not interested in going so far as to try plain guts just yet. Passione A might seem like a good choice as of now, but all these gut things are so dam pricey!! For something so personal and holistic as string choices, it is hard to figure it out without actually trying it out. But thank you experts for your valuable inputs.

Hello fellows! I am looking for a very specific breed of A string, one that could link the warmness and power of a gold E String(Goldbrokat 24k 0.27mm to be exact) with gut D & G Strings(Eudoxa Stiff D & Oliv Stiff G). Looking for an A String with rather low tension, but with enough loudness to accompany the E string while also having enough colors to go with the gut D. I’ve done a fair bit of researching but couldn’t get any satisfactory options. It’s my first time going off this “gut string” tangent so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much.

I am curious to know what the difference between the white box and black box is for pirastro rosins. I couldn't find out why with my searching skills. Here is an oliv rosin for example.

Agreed! what a nefarious market

Seller claims to have bought this at a Vichy auction in the early 2000’s, if this helps...

Does anyone know something about the bow maker named Robert Reichel? Any help is appreciated..

https://www.ebay.com/itm/203267297783 Is this bow really an Adolf C Schuster as it claims to be? What can be said about it?

quite ridiculous how much these things sell for.
