John, I’m really enjoying my new violin! I’ve had a LOT of positive comments from students and other musicians saying they really like the voice of this instrument. I’ll be playing a lyrical Irish piece solo with our high school choir next week, and the violin sounds great with this genre of music. The kids actually applauded the first time I played it with them in practice! Thanks again for checking up on us—and yes, I’m still loving my new violin very much!

"Dear John, I just
wanted to thank you again for the 7/8ths size violin you made for
me; it's a pleasure to play each time. Despite the incrementally
smaller size, the instrument has a big, rich voice. The G and D
strings sing with an almost viola - like chocolaty warmth, while
the upper strings have that sweet, lyric soprano. Playing in the
upper registers of each string, I'm amazed by how articulate and
clear the sound remains. When I play chords, the violin resonates
like a small organ! Also, your meticulous workmanship is a joy to
look at. Thanks again for the marvelous violin".
Warm regards,

"I have had my J. Hill Viola for almost four years now and I absolutely love it. It has a wonderful tone and the sound volume is amazing. I get so many compliments from the people I play with. It works great in both orchestral and chamber music settings."

"I have a beautiful, 250 year old Italian violin and it gets left in the dust because I love to play my John Hill Violin."
