I don't know if one violin is better than another as they all can sound horrible if a horrible "musician" is trying to play them.
To me any grand piano only sounds as good as its player provided the instrument is correctly voiced, tuned and regulated.
I do agree that some products marketed as "bicycles" leave much to be desired.
Yes. AAMOF.
All those Amazon violins? 95% of them cannot be made to sound decent by professionals...forget about amateurs. The fingerboards aren't even glued on straight. They are literally "violin shaped" objects....that have all the best acoustic properties of a 2x4, a snow shovel, and a chalkboard. And no one on earth can make them pleasant to listen to.
