"We live in exciting times!  The new world economy has opened up Eastern European countries such as Romania and Asian countries such as China.  The hard-working and skilled people of these countries have allowed for break-through low prices on stringed instruments.  And, most impressively, they have shown that the violin world is similar to the computer world - prices keep getting lower!  And, the performance keeps getting better!  Playing a quality stringed instrument is now affordable for anyone who wants to play.  At SHAR, we think that is a great thing for the string community!"
Haig Avsharian, President
