Update - 3/31/11

Today, I went to Hot Strings Guitars with Mary to see if the owner had any rosin for my violin. He did not have any in stock, but said that he would order some for me. I also looked at the violins in a catelogue that he had and decided that I would purchase one when I had the money. I can get a brand new Cremona Premier Student violin for approximately $140, much less than the other new violin that I had considered. I will be ordering it as soon as possible.
