Good News Everyone!!!
The violinist who was also interested in the Violin I wanted just replied to my mail (I was not even sure whether he would receive it since it went through some kind of marketing company...) and said that he couldn't afford the instrument at the moment and thus won't stand in my way...
Now I'll just have to wait for this information to come to me officially through the violin maker (he does not know that I contacted the violinist and I'm not sure that I want him to know...could look like I "convinced" him to leave the instrument to me or something...) and then I'll have that problem solved.
If everything works out (which seems a lot more likely now) then I'll hyve my new instrument by the end of May...but perhaps I'll have a job by then and not need an instrument...well...I'll cross that bridge when I get there...but I think I'd buy the violin anyway...it seems like a good investment...
