VIOLIN 3 yrs. old

VIOLIN 3 yrs. old Exc. cond. $85. (207) 469-3094.

Found on Page D2 of the July 14 Bangor Daily News.

Preconceived notions: I should have prefaced yesterday's post with this too, but: I just bought a trumpet. This may seem irrelevant, however I am absolutely pumped about it and thus, may be drawn in more easily to musical ads. That said: Maybe Will P Davis needs to get rid of his fiddle. I wonder if this person knows anything about violins, as this is a very cheap price. I've only heard of handmade violins, but they must be mass marketed too.

Called after work at about 5:40 p.m. A woman answered the phone before handing it off to the man, this seems to occur frequently. There was some sort of classical music in the background.

"I just bought a new one. It's a good beginner's violin," the man told me.

He's been playing on it for three years, but has moved up to a new, more advanced violin.

"It's Chinese built. There's thousands of them," he said, verifying my notion. "I paid $140 for it."

He said he bought it at Knapp's Music Store in Bangor.

I wonder what a violin would sound like with a trumpet.

PS: Sorry, I neglected to post until after midnight.
