Thanks. He really loves playing and I want to continue to encourage him. I wanted to surprise him but didn’t know if he would like the black or natural one better. I have a THR amp that is a perfect companion for these so it should work great for him. I actually bought it from Electric Violin Shop, not Sweetwater, as violins are their specialty (obviously) and they set up each violin they sell. I want to make sure to give them a shout out.
