Lovely ... but I'm a little bothered by sound being "off" from the visual, because it makes me question whether what I'm seeing is in fact what I'm hearing.
I have a L&C viola and play it regularly in orchestra pits. I generally like it a lot, though sometimes I struggle on the upper strings when vibrato and the instrument's natural vibration sometimes interfere with each other ... you just have to learn how to manage this.
Reviews of the violin weren't good 5 years ago ... did it change?

Is it will be the 21th Strad or Guarneri's violn? I want to try it but i'm not in USA.:(

@nhimcool haha, yeah, just kidding. i wouldn't want to play any string instrument in heavy weather. but i think a luis and clark can take a bit more of a beating than a traditional. the main body piece won't swell and warp with moisture. (which is great in the humidity! no tuning issues, for the most part.)

@roseinthepages you must be kidding about playing in the rain...I can't imagine how even a carbon fiber with natural horse hair can be played when it's wet..
-
Okay, I am seriously considering buying one, I was just a little undecided because they seem to market their cellos and violas more than the violins..

5000 dollars is next to nothing for a decent violin. My teacher remortgaged her house to buy her violin...

wowow great tone, want a luis&clark cello so much. nice playing!
-
I love that! Well played! Energetic. Beautiful sound.
-
well, it sounds good, and i don´t think 5k is too much for something like this... of course iw ould not buy it because wood is much more beautiful and warm. I play violin and I bought a viola only because it was so beautiful...

This is the most beautiful violin (and string instrument) I have ever heard.
i own the luis and clark viola ... and it's absolutely brilliant : )
i've had several instruments, but this is the only one that i can't wait to play every day. as for the money, when you consider the crazy prices some workshops are asking, $5,500 seems quite reasonable. the sound is incredible, plus you can play in the rain! haha

sooooooo expensive? who are you kidding? I've never found a violin with a sound I liked (other than this one, of course!) for under $7,500. Considering this violin's amazing sound, it's quite a bargain.
