"I bought a violin from Malcolm Rowe about 3 and a bit years ago. I played it constantly, playing it in and enjoying it. It has a large, rich
tone
but still with a sweetness in the upper register. It is superbly made and will continue to improve. It is extremely sturdy and copes well with
the extreme temperatures here. Because it has worked out so well, I have lent the violin to my Grand daughter who is playing it beautifully
In some ways I regret this as I believe your violin is sounding better than my good French instrument. I would certainly recommend
your instruments to anyone looking for an instrument of this class.
