   Dear Mr. Bai,

   The master-built violin and bow have finally arrived after an exact three months in transition due to the disruptions of Covid-19 pandemic.

   The packaging of the parcel is impeccable with protective cushions placed for the delicate areas wrapping vulnerable parts of the violin inside. Its bridge had been customized and fitted on its arrival. It is unfortunate some varnish under the packaging paper and the feet of the bridge was slightly damaged because it became soft during the time that’s longer than usual spent in the box. Luckily, it’s not that difficult to fix if you know the tricks (warning: definitely not the kind of task for anyone) but certainly, some additional time has been spent.

   Apart from the misfortunate, the violin looks great, the purfling and carving were very well done. The feel of the neck in hand is quite comfortable. The sound is very impressive, transparent and sweet with a distinctively resonant sound at around D as the key signature indicating a well-made Strad’s pattern violin. From a distance, it sounds good. It is easy to play and very responsive. The violin had whistle noises initially. From experience, I suspected it was caused by the fitted set of Dominant strings whose E has known issue for whistling noise. The next day the problem was gone as soon as the Dominant E was replaced. So, I may suggest the studio to replace Dominant E by fitting another E string, say Kaplan’s E. The sound is already impressive in “new”, I am looking forward to it maturing over time.

   The bow is also well crafted, responsive when played.

   Overall, I am pleased with the bow and violin ordered from Mr Bai’s studio. The communications with Mr Bai have been prompt, precise, truthful and pleasant. Please give Master Lu my thanks and express my admiration for the work. I would have no problem recommending your instruments to friends looking for high-quality instruments.
