The CF violin sounded like a cheap wooden violin. For 5000$ you can get a lot more from a chinese-made wooden violin...you can probably get at least five of those that would give you more pleasure than the L&C Carbon violin.
Maybe you could have got some more and better sound out of the instrument with a different bridge, soundpost and other strings, but it really is not worth the effort.
If you really need an indestructable violin then it's the right choice, but apart from that I would never recommend it.
The very "different" shape and color are also a bit of a problem...for a "fiddler" it's OK, but for a serious musician it could mean trouble because classical musicians are traditionalists.
There have been more and more attempts at carbon fibre violins in the recent past, but so far the breakthrough has not been made yet.
