Well, looks like possible bad news on the violin front...
The violin-maker that had promised me the violin in late May now suddenly says he can't promise that I'll get it. I could not get the why from him yet, I hope I'll be able to do that tomorrow.
It appears that the instrument that my teacher and myself liked so much is really an especially good one, he says it's his best so far. I wonder whether he has some other plans for it or something. I hope I'll manage to get the violin anyway or at least get some details about the sudden "uncertainity". I'm not really willing to settle for the "next instrument to be completed" which would/should/could be ready in january 2008 and might or might not be the same quality as this one...
The violin is also going to be slightly more expensive than I had anticipated, the 20000 was the price without VAT apparently, so it'll set me back a heavy 24000 Euro. I won't die if I have to spend that much, but I'm surely not looking forward to it!!!
